10/10 Excellent
"I arrived an hour late as check in was an hour earlier but wasn’t stated clearly on my itinerary. Please make sure all second party vendors are aware of this so that the management isn’t inconvenienced. I was thankful that the kind gentleman let me in so I could stay once again at this wonderful hotel. Thank you Mr. M for helping out! 👍👍👍👍👍"
