The evening desk staff were great! One man was Chase and I didn’t catch the other gentleman’s name. Both were courteous and went above and beyond to be helpful. Our rooms were both clean and well taken care of. The fitness and pool areas were also great and clean. The breakfast was well worth the extra $5 charge. Lots of fresh fruit, which was a pleasant surprise. We were hoping for “hotel waffles” but there were enough other options. The only irritant was that our keys didn’t work well, but that wasn’t an impossible challenge.
