The family room was SUPER cute. Breakfast was yummy especially the avocado toast. I loved it. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with a smile.
The hotel hallway wasn't clean. I noticed dust and towels outside a room. The room itself was dusty. I could see stains on the walls. I ALSO noticed bird droppings on the window ledge.
