Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were very friendly. The breakfast and dinner at the restaurant in the hotel across the parking lot was excellent! I had avocado toast for breakfast and my co-worker had oatmeal and toast. Dinner when we arrived was very good! We couldn’t choose so we split 3 items and had plenty of food. Good variety to meet our vegan preferences. Everything was fresh and presented well. I also slept great.
