Really good Service and Spacious Suite

spacious suite fantastic staff needed information nice room
Shirley and John at the front desk were fantastic. They were friendly and made sure I had all needed information. The room was spacious and pretty. Everyone was super nice.
I was a bit disappointed in the shuttle service. I was told it was available anytime. Later, I learned it runs only at the top of the hour. I came down 15 minutes early, but it was gone.

attentive service front desk service big television small bathroom low water pressure old toilet
The staff greeted me with smiles. I received attentive service at the front desk! My room had a big television with many channels. The eco policy gave me a credit to spend at the in-house restaurant, that's amazing.
The water pressure went off one morning, I could not even brush my teeth. I had to use bottled water! The bathroom was very small. The toilet looked old inside, I think it needs replacement.
