Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and smelled nice. Bedding was fresh. When we needed more towels, the front desk was helpful and responsive. The continental breakfast was simple. Nothing wrong with that, but if you want protein options for breakfast, pack your own. Also if you are Gluten Free as some of our guests were, pack your own. Breakfast bowls were a big hit! Our room did have a fridge and microwave.
