The room was comfortable. The price was reasonable. The breakfast was very good. I would have liked more than one towel, washcloth and hand towel for two nights, but I didn't ask for extra. It wasn't necessary -- just would have been nice.

Representative Thom was outstanding. His personality was great, he could read his customer attitude which is unusual. Knowledge of policy was explained so the customer understood completely My opinion Thom qualifications would be better suited in a larger HI.
