Front desk staff was excellent and happy Hour was good with free drinks and snacks. Suite very spacious. One negative- 8 am on checkout day, housekeeping opened the door to my room just as I was exciting the shower. They lightly tapped on door beforehand and then immediately opened it. No pause for me to answer nor did they announce themselves.

Clean room, friendly staff, Bath tub was clogged up and water pressure of bathroom shower was far too strong (both cons are room specific, but still needs to be noted). Breakfast was great, but on the second day could not find a seat because staff did not clear tables quick enough. Overall decent stay.

The service was great and the breakfast availability made our trip that much successful. When you travel with kids it is important to start the day right and having a good night sleep and a delicious breakfast was key for us. The beds were very comfortable and the options we had for breakfast were delicious. We loved our stay and will probably return in the future.
