The staff in the bar area helped with warming milk for my young child. The breakfast staff were all amazing, helpful and very kind to us. The room was “standard” but HUGE for us. We had everything we needed and more!! Would highly recommend staying with this hotel and brand again. Above and beyond expectations!! "
