When a staff can be welcoming and connect with everyone yet operate the facility as utmost professional staff do, guest like it. And we notice. It may go unthanked much of the time but guests appreciate a well lit red carpet, and we like this place. Its all the standards of a hotel for freshness smelling clean, and soft clean silky sheets. Spotless, immaculate. Keep up the good.
