"Friendly and professional."

From the time I checked in everyone was friendly and very attentive. I particularly enjoyed my dinner and drink at the bar restaurant. I have stayed here before and the cook was the same. She really does an awesome job and the bartender/waitress was great at keeping up with what I needed. Cudos to all the staff.
