Great hotel, room was very spacious, clean, and well maintained. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The woman who checked me in was especially friendly, despite it being a very busy time. Aside from some confusion when checking out regarding waived resort fee benefit from Expedia, which was handled quickly, the stay was awesome.
