"Decent place exceptional staff"

The hotel itself is decent for an upper price level. But the staff are downright exceptional. Our group is staying here for five days on a retreat and every single staff member has been a delight from the person mopping the floors to the folks at the desk to the staff in the restaurant. Like every business, it appears they are short of help, but those who are here are working darn hard to make the experience a delight for the guests. I cannot compliment the staff enough. .. they went above and beyond all with a smile!
