I didn't spend too much time in the hotel except to sleep and have breakfast, but it was clean, smelled good, and the breakfasts were good, although I would like more bacon :). When I interacted with anyone at the front desk they were very friendly and helpful. The bartender, Matthew, was so patient to deal with our rowdy group! Bed was lumpy but decent.
