The front staff is always so professional and personable. William has been exceptionally great as I have stayed a few time over the past month and each time he has been manning the front desk perfectly and he always graciously accommodates my requests for room location or other nuances of my visit.

Check in staff was friendly. Our room smelled of chlorine even though we weren’t even close to the pool, especially the bed. There was dirty laundry and trash bags in the hall the entire length of our stay.
