Acceptable Stay

pleasant staffroom serviceunfriendly valetcash unavailability
The staff were pleasant upon my arrival. They promptly took my bags inside and then up to my room. The assistance provided was amazing to me.
The valet greeted me in an unfriendly way. He made me move my car so I was unable to open any doors. There was not a way for the front desk to break a twenty dollar bill so I could not tip for the service.
