We checked in on Christmas night at 10:00pm and left at 7:00am on the 26th. The room was very clean, the front area was really spacious and beautiful. What was the next thing was the woman that checked us in. She was so happy and festive for Christmas. You would not know it was Christmas night and she had to work. What a rockstar to great us.
