We had a great day and would stood out would be definitely a clean room. The staff was very nice and welcoming!! the breakfast buffet was definitely a major plus for us. The warm foods were perfect temperature as well as the cold and very spacious room to be able to sit down and enjoy. Took advantage of the room service, which was also quick and great food.
