Just what we needed

We had a great nights stay. The staff was helpful, the room clean, and the bed great. We left an item in the room and called to ask if they found it. While we need to call back tomorrow when the room is cleaned, the woman at the dest was helpful and understanding. I needed that and a stay at a nice hotel after experiencing a nightmare stay earlier in the week.

Quiet overnight

The young lady (Brea?) that checked us in was great. She was friendly, helpful and she never sat down as I was in and out for smoke breaks and saw her doing laundry, sweeping and washing the entrance and desk lobby area. I had difficulty getting in to the wifi and she put me on in my iPad. If I was a business owner, I’d hire her and make sure her wage was decent.
