"The front desk staff and housekeepers were all very nice. A special thank you to the young man at the front desk last night when my laundry duty went over the laundry closing time. He told me to just let him know when I needed. In to purchase into the dryer and when my clothes were dry so I could take them out and to my room. The lighting on the property makes it much more visible at night and gives a much safer feeling to the guests. There are many fast food & sit down restaurants in the area...
