Staff and management outstanding!

The hotel struggled with the air conditioning. My mom‘s TV didn’t work. But I don’t rate hotels necessarily on their problems. I write on how they handle the problems with their customers. Their staff was outstanding in getting the problems solved, people moved, credited our room, etc., SoI would encourage anyone to stay here and I stay here often.
