Our stay was pretty good until it came to breakfast time. Staff was rude, no milk, no butter, limited juice, no pastries, limited cereal, and just a feel there was a last or preparation. Our room was nice and the check-in process was nice.

When we first got to our room the cleaner smell was over powering, the bathroom door didn’t lock, and it smelled like marijuana in the hallway. It was okay for a pinch but wouldn’t choose it again. The breakfast was okay, but the staff didn’t even talk and was on her phone the whole time. Overall I’d give it a 4/10.
