This is an awesome hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Shout out to the extremely friendly and courteous front desk man. Also the night time security person is extremely friendly, courteous and hard working and goes beyond what needed to be hospitable. Great job in hiring such a great front desk and night time security person!
