10/10 Excellent

"First of all, I had a wonderful day at your hotel at the front desk. Sharon and Rachel were awesome. Very kind. Sweet and accommodated. Have a wonderful attitude. That alone will make me go back. Room is very clean very spacious and beautiful. The only thing I didn’t like was that there was no microwave in the room. Other than that. It was amazing. I will definitely make arrangements in the future to stay there. Thank you so much. And again Rachel and Sharon deserve a raise. No joke. Thank you again."
