Staff have poor hospitality skills. They were not rude, but they expressed no gratitude nor welcoming spirit. Property was fine. When I checked in the clerk spent the entire interaction on the phone. I don’t know the conversation because it was neither English nor Spanish. I am not clear from the experience the clerk even spoke English. Maybe an attempt at interaction in any language would have been better. When I checked out the next morning, the clerk on duty (a different person) said nothing to me as I returned the room key card. Go someplace else if you want any kind of service. You won’t get it here.

Gent at the front desk seemed Very inconvenienced in "having to" check me in, and was even less enthused when he had to come up and resync my tv so i could watch the news. I don't expect much from staff anymore, vut I do actually expect some small degree of positive attitude as a guest at the property...
