"The room was clean and everything worked. Breakfast could use some improvement. The pancake machine was out of batter we notified the front desk and it took a while for a staff member to come and refill it. Not only did we wait other families were waiting before us. The bread section was low in stock as well. It would be nice for a staff member to be on top of it."
"Very clean room and plenty of towels. Clean bathroom. The front desk staff were attentive and approachable. The kitchen staff were friendly and helpful. Remember to tip your housekeeper."
