My family of three stayed here to be closer to valley fair, and it was a wonderful location. Shay was amazing, when we arrived she was about to leave for the day, and chose to stay and help. Since the other employee hadn't gotten there yet. She...
was wonderful and brought out new hot water and hot coco when there wasn't any. We loved that the cook (and can't remember his name) was very kind and sociable, and answered our questions. Thank you for a great stay.

From the moment I walked through the main doors, the greeting I received, to accommodating my needs, and the interaction with Kim, Hannah, Shae, Robert, and the housekeepers, I will never forget how each person made me feel during each interact...
ion. Kim the assistant manager, has such dedication to her job/position that it reflects on the other employees. The customer service is beyond anything I have ever experienced specifically at a hotel. All the front desk staff and management not only do their job but they go beyond the call of duty to ensure you stay feels as if you never left home. I want to thank Warner, their cook, who never takes a day off. Cooks fresh breakfast EVERY MORNING and greets you with a warm good morning, and makes sure you start off your morning off right😊 thank you all for all you did for me to accommodate my needs. Much love, Alicia & roommates (room # 230/130)
