"Everything and everyone was absolutely incredible. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We had adjoining rooms and I inadvertently locked my door as I was busy with the 2 toddlers. The AMAZING maintenance men (3 of them - Eddie, Jean & David) were able to get my door unlocked as the connecting door was also locked. They worked at it for quite awhile and could not appreciate them more! Breakfast staff were so nice and helpful. Overall experience added to our road trip."
