The room was clean and roomy. Staff was professional and courteous. We were disappointed that the restaurant was closed on Monday with no notification, we chose this hotel based on the ease of an onsite restaurant. Also the menu at the restaurant was very minimal. We were not offered our VIP benefits that came with our reservation which was disappointing as well. The entrance to the Hotel was a bit difficult to locate due to all of the greenery growing on the front, we drove past it twice. Again I will stress the cleanliness which was EXCELLENT!
