The hotel staff and service was very nice, clean, quiet, professional and friendly. The front desk staff was very helpful, kind, informative and accommodating. The pool area was nice and the food selection was great. The one thing I did notice that I didn't absolutely love was the "old carpet" smell that was in the hallways. Other than that, everything was nice and clean.
