Staff couldn’t be better. Overly helpful and gracious- going it off their way to assist. And all of them always happy and pleasant. The ONLY noticeable less than ideal feature(s) is the entrance- looks like a service entrance and hard to find…and the lobby bar set up. It’s a small bar for the size of the hotel, it’s not really separated from the lobby and the seating is not ideal. But it works and not a reason to not come back. Overall really lovely experience!!!!
