Tracy was the employee working behind the counter the night of January 3rd between the hours of 5pm and 6:30pm that evening, when I walked in the doors of your establishment to check in that evening. When I walked up to the counter and found your employee sleeping and the only way I got her attention was to call the house phone.

Alongside main road/highway, yet far enough away that it's quiet, with no noise of traffic. Very convenient that a restaurant is literally right next door to hotel, such that you can walk there, without having to cross any roads. Easy check in/out with helpful and friendly staff
