Disliked: Staff & service
The staff on front desk was not friendly or accommodating for people arriving 15 minutes early for check in time. At 3pm there ended being a line up over a dozen people trying to check in. Staff in restaurant didn’t use common sense of putting a few tables together to accommodate a party of 8 people. They did not keep on top of lack of mugs, glasses and cutlery during the breakfast hours.
