Property is immaculately clean on the inside. The cleaning staff are a total delight warm, friendly, and responsive. On the other hand, checking in and checking out the gentleman behind the counter, dressed unprofessionally and seemed to be more interested in surfing the Internet on his phone then engaging in any meaningful way. At one point, he sat down while I was working on my reservation surfing on his phone and left me waiting until he was finished.. on two different occasions. I caught a glimpse of his phone and it certainly had nothing to do with his responsibilities. He seemed to care less about his job then one could imagine.. I ran into him again at checkout, but he seemed totally disinterested. Once more in any opportunity he had was glued to his phone. I needed a room for another night and decided to go elsewhere.
