Friendly Employees Made This a Great Stay
Pros:

The employees truly made this stay worth it. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm and welcoming. Patrick at the front desk was especially helpful.

At breakfast, Steve A also stood out for his attentiveness and positive attitude. He kept everything running smoothly and made sure guests were taken care of.

The only real downside during the stay was the elevators, which were noticeably slow at times, especially during busy periods. Aside from that minor inconvenience, everything else about the stay was great. The staff really made the experience memorable, and employees like Patrick and Steve A are a big reason why.

Excellent service and food
Pros:

The free breakfast was phenomenal. Willie made the best omelette this side of heaven and Steve and Mimi catered to my needs. I didn’t like the parking options, but thankfully, I had a free code for the parking garage. Loved the food at the restaurant also.
