I had such a lovely stay, these rooms were so clean, the set up was so modern and relaxing. We got this hotel room on the spot and they were so sweet and professional. The next day when I checked out, we had a lovely encounter with one of the best Customer Service I’ve encountered. Jerry was a delight and definitely will be coming back.
