Receptionist was fabulous.....kind, knowledgeable and efficient. Room was very nice, very clean and quite comfortable. The hotel itself was quiet, orderly and really had no issues. Price was right, too. Breakfast was kinda sparse, but i didn't expect the red carpet treatment, but people were eating ...
