At check in the clerk was eating at the desk and speaking with his mouth full. At breakfast we asked the front desk staff if they had non-dairy milk options and were told we could go buy some st the store if we wanted it. Pretty rude staff.
Well maintained hotel and rooms. Clean lobby and helpful staff. All staff courteous and pleasant. Beds comfortable and clean. Very clean rooms. Towels and toiletries excellent. Breakfast hot and delicious made with care, food area immaculate. Check in / out a breeze. A++
The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of snack options

Heat pump did not work properly on automatic. First night it was set on Automatic. Woke up and was sweating. Had to stay up about 1/2 hour and manually controlled the heat pump by putting it on cool and shutting it off. the room was cold when I got up.
Bathroom sink only had warm water from the hot faucet. I expected better. .
The hotel facility was very nice. The breakfast offered was a nice variety, however, everything hot was very peppery.
The one "complaint" was just about every time I went to the front desk no one was around.
