I had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly friendly, the hotel was spotless, and the breakfast was amazing. I definitely plan to return. My only minor issue was that housekeeping inquired about our checkout progress with 40 minutes left. We were already packing and preparing to leave, but it did make us feel a little rushed at the end.

The night employee was no help on how to work the jet tub and seemed to be high on something because he had slurred speech and kept repeating the same thing when I asked him questions. The hotel stunk of weed and especially in my room it smelled like weed.
