The staff was amazing and did what they could with what they had. The building need some upkeep and the air conditioning needs to be fixed for the restaurant, but besides that the stay was very pleasant and the staff went above and beyond to make everyone’s stay the best that it could have been. I would most definitely comeback again to visit.
