Great customer service

Food was okay at restaurant. Yogurt with granola didn't have much flavor. The waffle was spongy and the breakfast burrito was a little bland. The bed was comfortable. The hotel would check in with me via text. I thought that was really good customer service. I can ask questions via text. Friendly staff. I would stay here again.
