Jozette hotel on our way home cause they had a bar at the hotel looking to watch Monday Night Football. The barmaid was very friendly and very courteous however, she had no clue what Monday night football is took forever to get the TVs changed. She was overworked and needed a minimum of one additional probably two additional people to keep up with everything did not at all raise an issue because she was trying her best. Couldn’t seem to get a game on the four TVs custom we weren’t happy.
