Short but sweet stay

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable and clean. Dominic at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. He called me after we left to inform me I had left phone charger. I really appreciated this call. I went back by to pick up my cord and Dominic kindly assured me that I wasn’t the only person to do this. I will definitely stay here again!

I arrived to be given a third floor room with no elevators working. No Internet in the room. No chatter for the desk in the room. One would think for that price these are basic things that should be available.

The property General Manager was working a double when I checked in. Expedia had really screwed up my reservation and she took the time needed to make sure I had a room and got me taken care of. After a long drive, I am grateful to her!
