Only one suggestion is 1) the hot water should be hotter in order to make tea or mix oatmeal 2) some small packs of half/half for coffee would be great. I love their hot breakfast and yogurt selections. Excellent job!!!

Front desk staff at checkin wasn’t very welcoming, but seemed preoccupied. Hotel was very loud. There were kids running and yelling in the hallway until 11pm our first night. (Obviously not the hotel’s fault, but very annoying). Our room was also above the pool so it was very loud when people were down there. The stopper didn’t work on the tub so only the shower could be used. The tv didn’t work and we had to call someone to fix it. The furniture was extremely uncomfortable. The hotel was very clean and the other staff we encountered seemed nice.
