"We only stayed one night, but the room was clean, beds very comfortable, and good options for breakfast, including protein. Ashley at the front desk when we arrived was very friendly, helpful and I loved joking around with her. The ladies at the desk in the morning were also helpful. There was an odd smell about the halls and foyer though. Almost like burning plastic. Not sure what that was, but hopefully they'll look n into it."
