"Breakfast was great and they have a lot of sitting room during that time. The room was very clean! When we got there the first day, due to the global IT outage they couldn’t make room keys. The guy at the counter was the only person there and was checking people in and letting them into their room each time they needed with one master key fob. He was super quick, super professional, super helpful. Please give him a raise! Day was 7/19/24 evening shift. "
