good breakfast central location customer service front desk
The included breakfast was good and opened until 10:30 am. the location was great for walking to many of the town sites and restaurants. i loved how central everything was. It.
the staff lacked skills to handle customers. they're always in the office chatting and not in the "front desk". i also noticed they would interrupt to prove their point.
