"It's About the People"

We had an enjoyable stay at KSUH. It was the staff that impressed us the most! From check in, dinner, lounge abd checkout. Lana at the desk and Jade especially were very friendly and helpful. The property itself is clean and comfortable. but it's the people who make it work.
