Great staff made last minute accommodations for 2 couples to be located next to each other in order to help assist one member with physical disabilities. Cafe staff were very friendly and professional. Shuttle driver, Harry, went beyond just driving and helped with wheelchair bound passenger. Highly recommend this hotel.
