Service was amazing! Great staff! Rooms clean but smelt musty. Got moved once. The room was somewhat better but still had that oder. I also think for what you pay for a room. A complimentary breakfast is in order. Especially considering I have had much better quality complimentary breakfast at lower priced hotels. I had dinner there as well. Not much better. Again, staff, service, and overall cleanliness was great.
