MARY at the front desk that is in our before normal check in. Arrange a bottle of champagne and treats in a check out suggested leaving the tip for the ballet on the Bill to avoid the awkward face to face tipping. Excellent customer service and atmosphere highly recommend.

Testimonials icon
"My middle school band and I have been extremely pleased with the service we received from your company. I had many choices for hotels very quickly and the hotels I considered were all excellent. Even after I selected our hotel, your agents stayed in contact with me periodically and even arranged a free upgrade of my room to a suite! What a nice surprise! I plan to book my next trip through them and would highly recommend them to my friends for their group travel plans. Thanks for a great experience." C.C. - Grove Hill, AL
