Between Barbara Lita, the general manager, Sally who handled the food service and Kate at the front desk, the level of customer service is a 10 out of 10. I can honestly say I have never met such friendly and welcoming staff who made you feel s...

tes. But we had to wait until 8 am for the Manager to arrive to move us. We came back later and manager wasn't helpful at all. Gave all excuses not to move us. We even agreed to pay cleaning fee.. I don't think we will stay here again.
