The young lady in charge at the front desk was the absolute GREATEST in customer service skills. The rooms are extremely spacious and in my opinion nicer then a Hilton. Oh, and the the GREATEST part of the entire stay was the Breakfast. It was a 4 Star Breakfast that I still can't believe comes free with the room. I will not stay ANYWHERE ELSE accept here when coming into town.
