The staff was very helpful and efficient. The room was clean and comfortable. Our only complaint was that the sheets and bed comforter seemed to be too short for the bed. We expect the bedding to reach our neck when we are sleeping but the bedding did not reach our and armpits. Breakfast was good. The staff kept everything stocked. When we needed ice, they happily provided.
