10/10 Excellent
"I keep returning to this very hotel because the breakfast is amazing, I feel safe, and I appreciate that there’s a bible in the dresser! The staff is always helpful, but this trip the staff who checked me in, was very friendly, but did not accurately take down my email address. This was properly addressed and corrected by the staff who checked me out. I very much love the attention to detail upon checkout. I will be returning again this coming up October for my Chamberlain graduation and am looking forward to booking at this very hotel. Until then, Thank you."
