The staff were all incredibly courteous and kind. They brought a microwave to our room when I got sick at the restaurant and needed to reheat food. Breakfast pastries get delivered to the room and the turn down service went above and beyond. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for somewhere clean, safe and very comfortable!
