The Pell - Part of JdV by Hyatt
We have stayed at this hotel a lot at times and the staff is very friendly, especially the check in desk clerk, I don’t remember his name. I’m not sure if he’s Russian or polish but he is very friendly and funny. The hotel is very clean and is definitely my favorite. We are coming back next Wednesday ...
