Great customer service with several members of the front desk! I had an issue with my truck and required a bit of extra help from the front desk and everyone I talked to went above and beyond to help me. Very reasonable, organized, super polite, great communication and really accommodating for me. Really appreciate all your help!! Will stay here any time I am flying out of Bellingham again :)
