We stay every Thanksgiving at this Hotel. The surprise this time was a walk in shower instead of the tub. That is wonderful for us as we get older. We stayed at a Fairfield Inn for several days in Jacksonville, Fl also in November. They had a different menu each day which was really nice for a long stay. Different meat, variety of fruit, omelets instead of scrambled eggs etc.

And then if that wasn't enough I got to meet 2 more lovely ladies Mrs Kat who was just so sweet and was willing to have a conversation with me and give me her ear at atime I didn't no i needed it took some stress away . And then finally Mrs Mami she to was just sweet and was fun to talk with super easy to talk to and ask questions. Even the cleaning lady alought I didn't get to speak to her much was really sweet and always spoke back I even got to see her interact with a older lady and she was sooooo nice and sweet with her.... over all ladies thank you sooo very much for stay I truly don't think could of got much better this is yalls room 126 😁 Than you ❤️
