This hotel was worthwhile and great location. Great morning buffet.
Pros:

Jasmine from the front desk and Kaitlynn the bartender were OUTSTANDING!! They really showed professionalism and hostility all rolled up in one. They made the trip enjoyable and worthwhile.

Cons:

The small fridge and absence of cleaning service at least I didn't see them. For the record, I don't used them anyway but I wanted additional cups and couldn't find them.
