Check in was easy. Clare and Alexis were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We were there for 5 nights and the entire staff was very helpful. Claudia, that was the breakfast lady, was very friendly and said good morning to us every morning. She did a great job keeping the food filled and the choices were very good. Thank you to all the staff for making this stay great.
