Disliked: Staff & service
My two kids and I had a wonderful stay from December 23rd until December 28th. The night of the 28th I had the pleasure of dealing with an employee working the front office who apparently didn't "feel" I should be bothering her! I had simply asked if she had a couple extra Ziploc bags hanging around? She very abruptly told me: No, we do not carry those here. I said: Okay, can I have a couple black trash bags? She stared me down, making me feel uncomfortable and inconvenient to her! I quickly responded: You know for our little trash cans. She THEN got up from her seat reluctantly and walked towards this closet to get me some trash bags. Before reaching the closet, she stated without missing a beat: Uhm, I will notify housekeeping that your room does not have trash bags. I told her: No, I've had my "Do not disturb sign" up for a couple of days since we haven't really left our room. She felt the need to reiterate to me: Because if housekeeping isn't doing their job.... I cut her off mid sentence saying: No, it was nothing like that! I took the trash bags and said Thanks and turned and walked away! It's not ok for ANY employee of an establishment to make THEIR customers feel like an inconvenience! NEVER

Decent and good price
It is a decent and clean place to stay. Great price. Only frustration was when we went to check in a little after 3 they did not have anything ready and a available, so we had to wait to check in. But staff was friendly and breakfast good.
