The room was lovely and comfortable, and the bathroom had a great shower. The only complaint about the room was that the fridge made a weird clicking noise throughout the night. Our main issue with our stay was the lack of friendly service at check-in, as the man didn't tell us about the hotel's facilities or even seemed interested in talking to us. The young woman who served us at the bar that night was equally flat in her customer service. Thankfully, the lady checking us out the next day was friendly and conversational. It would also be helpful to know the price of parking your car at the hotel when you're booking, as we were blindsided by the cost when checking in.
