Overall score5.0/ 5
Great place to stay! One shortcoming…I have been coming here for several years, yet each time I am here I experience no difference than if I walked off of the street. No evidence that loyalty makes and impact? However the place is cool enough I come here anyway.

"When people provide customer friendly service in today’s world, it should be applauded! So many businesses have taken almost and adversarial attitude towards the customer, in other words, they over compensate for a consumer not following through. As a business, it is my understanding, that the business should always follow through and do as they promise! Loyalty between consumers and businesses should remain alive, profit above service is a bad plan and will cost the business in the long run!" R.F. - Denver, CO
