Good except weed and towels
The room was its self was good but we couldn’t help but smell weed from the previous guests, but we had brought a can of ozone cleaner and it knocked it out. The valets, front desk, and the breakfast staff were out standing and some wonderful people. The only other bad thing from the stay was that the last night we had requested to have two towels brought up because we used them that morning. I tried calling the front desk and the phone in the room would not work, so I send down and asked for towels around 8:30 pm and waited for them around 10:30pm we finally get our towels. But besides that the hotel was clean and it was staffed by amazing people.
