When we checked in, the women on the front desk was not engaged at all. When we checked out the following morning, Danielle was very helpful and outgoing. The TV in our room did not work, it would have been nice to have healthier options at breakfast such as whole wheat bread for toast and some fresh fruit (apples, bananas or oranges). Otherwise, our stay was satisfactory.
