The front desk staff was very kind and pleasant. However the breakfast selection was bad. No milk for cereal or coffee multiple days in a row, pancake machine broken. The staff all seemed to hate their jobs and were annoyed when asked for help and kept complaining about everything. Room itself smelled like cigarette smoke and had a broken tub stopper and the sink in the living room was not sealed in the bar and the cabinets were all crooked and not wiped off. The linens and pillows were clean and the pool and workout area were also clean.
