average stay with a staff issue

small room rude receptionist
the room had a good cleaning service.
The small room was roasting. i had to keep the fan on all night, not ideal because of the noise. there was also one receptionist being very rude and opinionated. It was unprofessional and left a bad taste.

great stay!

onsite parking breakfast croissants
The pre-arrival emails prepared me well! i found free onsite parking, a pleasant surprise. the breakfast buffet offered seven hot choices. i really savored the fresh croissants. They were delectable.
the room décor seemed a bit dated! it reminded me of an 1980s miami vice nightclub.
