The staff was helpful and kind, they offered to store our luggage until check in and then when it was check in time, they already had put the luggage in our room. The breakfast was very well stocked and tasty. The staff made recommendations of food places to eat at. They were very kind and attentive and the whole experience was enjoyable.
