"Excellent customer service."

Very clean room. Excellent breakfast. Our first night on upper floor rooms were available and my wife had a very difficult time climbing the stairs due to physical limitations. When I talked to the manager the next morning he moved us to the first available room on the ground floor. Very accommodating.
