The service was great and the breakfast availability made our trip that much successful. When you travel with kids it is important to start the day right and having a good night sleep and a delicious breakfast was key for us. The beds were very comfortable and the options we had for breakfast were delicious. We loved our stay and will probably return in the future.

Things were ok but have had better experiences in the past. We needed to ask for extra bedding 3 times before it was delivered correctly, and the male employee at the front desk was a bit rude when I inquired about it. The breakfast was good but perhaps understaffed, they were doing their best with very large crowds (kudos to them!)
