I was greeted at the front desk and promptly checked in. The girl at the front desk was friendly, but not overly...I have stayed here several times so didn't need the explanations but typically one is told about breakfast, coffee etc. The room appeared super clean. Hotel was very quiet. A very enjoyable stay!
