Compliments to Juan at the front desk who went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that we had a comfortable room and even helped out with our luggage. Compliments to David, who was our waiter in the dining room he was very professional and friendly. Compliments to the chef for an amazing fresh tuna loin and to die for mashed potatoes which I don’t normally order as a side. Breakfast every day was tasty and fresh. Compliments to Paula at the front desk who assisted me and making sure that my phone was working. She was patient and kind. The owner should be very proud of his new hotel. Not only is the hotel first class, but the staff is even better.
