First day check-in front desk staff not so good, rushed and unfriendly. Evening shift AWESOME. Second day shift staff superb -although nobody could explain my Expedia “resort credits” which I believe went unused and was charged to my card when credits would’ve covered majority each day’s breakfast. Only reason not rated 5. Room was clean, cleaning staff AMAZINGLY kind, offering to carry grocery bags w me even though their hands had towels and supplies in them. Enjoyed stay for sure.
