The front desk concierge was very friendly, and check-in was quick / easy. The room was great, though the cleaning product scent was a bit strong for my taste. Overall, everyone was incredibly welcoming. We’ll definitely be back. :)

The room was clean. The sheets had an unpleasant smell. The maintenance should check the outlet in the bathroom as hair dryer and curler kept falling out of the socket. Gaps around shower door allowed water to escape. The front desk emplyee was very nice as were the restaurant staff.
