"We always stay here while in Tucson. It’s close to everywhere we like to go. The rooms are nice. Free breakfast and happy hour. We just had a little mixup with our bill this time, but got it all straightened out. Oh… and we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the ceiling fan. We finally figured it out the next morning. We had to hit the master switch at the front door. It might be nice to tell the customers that when they check in."
