Clean room, staff was ok, breakfast was great, kitchen was good. The only think was check in and out. Took awhile , nobody was at the desk. Especially when leaving. Had a long line of people waiting not knowing where anyone was at to check out. My husband was waiting outside in the car , we had loaded up our car with our baggage and still could check out because no one was the front desk.
