The staff wae nice, other than the night clerk. She seemed to hate her job and looked like everything was inconveniencing her. And... the power went out on the hotel for about 45 min to an hour... that was "fun".

They need to turn off FoxNews in the dining room. They blast out verified lies all the time which causes these divisions in our country. And they are the only news network who were fined $750K for spewing their lies about the 2020 campaign. Get rid of that channel if you any guests to stay there.
