The front desk staff was very friendly and fun to converse with. The breakfast staff was personable and kind, making sure everything was up to par and satisfactory. My only complaint was the bedding had an odor, the floor was dirty (I remove my shoes upon entering), and I found a pretzel from a previous guest on the floor next to the bed. Staff gets 5/5 stars from me, but the cleaning could use just a little improvement."
