Staff were very friendly and accomodating overall. One thing that did NOT fit the whole experience was the breakfast. There was NO staff available to assist. We didn't know how things were to go. It would have been nice to have an option to order meat or eggs, or just have that option. We needed some assist and i practically had to walk into the kitchen to get this. It was not a great experience compared to other hotel's breakfasts and cost/ night here is considerably more expensive.
