Staff was not really helpful . Elevator to parking garage was broken , had to use front entrance but entrance was locked because it was full . Staff did not communicate with guest effectively to fix the issue . Rooms smelled musty and moldy .
The only complaint I have is I don’t think they were expecting as many people as they had the days k was there. It was spring break and they should have been better prepared. The continental breakfast was left without food for more than 30 min at a time. People waited for food to come out, but it wasn’t enough. It came out lil by lil and people were left without food.
