The staff at the front desk, the security guard, and the restaurant were wonderful! This hotel attracts a lot of families traveling for sports, like us, so please note that if you go to bed early, do NOT stay in the hotel rooms with windows that overlook the lobby because of the unavoidable noise from kids having fun.
