Galt House Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham
Everything was wonderful!! The staff is overly friendly with their display of hospitality. Francine is an amazing person who seems to love people and her job! The room was very nice, clean & cozy. Not to mention the comfortable "good sleeping" bed. I will definitely stay here over and over again. ...
