I want to give a special shout out to the gentleman who was working the desk the day we checked in. He not only gave us all of the information we needed, he upgraded our room for a nice deal and also gave us an extra hour on checkout as a courtesy. Wonderful experience, gorgeous hotel, clean and amazing staff. Definitely will recommend to friends and family and we will be back!
