Sue in Customer Relations was on the ball, as usual! She had my favorite room ready. I spent 2 minutes checking in, as Sue had everything ready for my check in. The lights in my room were on and the AC was on to combat the hot weather. I got free breakfast - great eggs and gravy.

I stopped by early because I did not know when I could return and wanted to make sure my reservation would be held.

The stay was fine. The room was very clean. Plenty of pillows. Not enough blankets, but that’s the same with most hotels. I didn’t love the sliding door on the bathroom…. Overall it was very nice.
