Fantastic Stay!

warm greetinglocal informationthoughtful gesturedining options
Mo greeted me warmly upon my arrival. He provided essential details about the local area and directions for my conference the next day. He also recommended great local dining options. After checking out, I realized I had left an item behind. Mo texted me right away, which allowed me to retrieve it. I so appreciated this thoughtful gesture, because the item was precious to me!
The toiletries provided were quite minimal.
