I would like to thank the staff at the breakfast kitchen for working diligently and efficiently, serving many guests beyond capacity with dedication and patience. The variety of the breakfast menu was excellent. The front desk staff were very accommodating and courteous. Room cleaning could use slight improvement, particularly with the daily refill of sanitary items, water, and coffee. The hotel would also benefit from noise-reduction windows, as sirens and traffic outside can be disruptive. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and would love to return to this property.
