Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel states that check-in time is at 3 PM, however our room wasn't ready until around 4 PM. Also the quality of the breakfast could have been better. The scrambled eggs had a watery taste and they only had turkey and pork sausage for the meat option, no bacon or ham, and the biscuits were somewhat hard. The balcony area had two chairs, but no table. It would have been nice to have a table for the either the balcony area or inside the room. Despite these things the staff was courteous and helpful.
