While pouring rain outside we parked and were being checked in with Kathy. Some other suite tenant ran from the outside cut in front of us and Kathy mie check-in stopped our check in refocused their attention to the tenant that forgot her key card. Then proceeded to say she had to restart because she just lost our details… needs a little more back courtesy and could have told the guest they could wait while she finishes checking us in. We were quite appalled honestly, given we had just arrived and it was pouring and this person had already forgotten their key card and just simply cut in front and the reception woman Kathy mid check in just left us and refocused on this person. Awful customer service.

Hotel was very well taken care of, with friendly staff, breakfast was good and plentiful, room was nice. Did not appreciate that smoking is allowed in sitting area ourdoors, right outside of the hotel. Seems like it should be away from hotel or not at all.

Overall it was a great experience. I have noticed in more than one stay that the rooms were not totally clean. Some time back, I noticed the shower floor had footprints from me walking around the room barefooted. This visit, I noticed the floor felt a little grimmy.

Disappointed in friendliness

The place wasn't as friendly as I thought it would be. Nobody said good morning or good evening as you walked past the front desk. If you went in the side door you were greeted with smoke from the smokers. Overall, it was OK but not worth the price. Shopping was nice and the people there were very friendly. Breakfast was the same thing every day for the 3 days were were there.A little variety wouldn't hurt. The rooms were nice and bed was comfy. Overall, I would shop around town again, but would probably stay near Goshen or South Bend and drive into town.
