The entire staff was PHENOMINAL! Our room was super clean, A/C worked great, great internet and quiet. Yes, tje rooms are small (did not affect us at all) and breakfast was super crowded both mornings (again, it did not bother us at all). We'll definitely being staying here again - customer service was top notch and the amenities were legit.
