Liked: Cleanliness
I wish I could give 5 stars to the staff and services. The staffs in breakfast room and room service who greeted and smiled at you. But the front desk not so much. The night when we checked in, the old guy behind the check in counter was rude and impatient when I asked for the parking directions. He shouldn’t be in hospitality business.
