Staff at check in was ok. After we checked in they allowed someone else to charge food to our room. No one was there to get a receipt at check out and got yelled at by staff when I called to question the charge.

Would not recommend
Rooms were dirty (candy canes smashed into carpet of one room and stained, footprint on sheets in another room), loud/screaming kids running the halls all night, breakfast was gross (pancake machine takes forever and only spits out 2 mini pancakes at a time, cream cheese for bagels had sat out too long, definitely not the “buffet” they advertise). Beds were comfy, they offer Dove bath/hair stuff, staff friendly…..those are the only positives.
