Every staff personnel was kind and friendly. The hotel was booked to capacity and very busy. We reported a leak in the room through A/C unit the night it rained but other than that it was clean and comfortable. The hotel just needs some attention.

Yes, the staff was friendly and courteous. The shower left the floor wet. The room was very quiet. Breakfast was good but could have been hotter. (Or at least have a microwave available to heat things up.)
