We had a wonderful stay! Our flight arrived early, and Marzie, the manager, went above and beyond to get our room ready as soon as possible. Even though the buffet was already closed, he kindly offered us coffee and some snacks while we waited. Excellent customer service and very friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again!
