    I hated this place because of the way i felt i was being treated by certain employees. But upon reflection and an incident involving the owner, kent, i was able to understand him. He explained to us that some aquaintance's, who we briefly invited into our room, were banned from the hotel. He clearly & respectfully expressed his frustrations towards us was in fact due to the type of people and scene he thought we brought to his hotel. However after brief inspection of the room and a heartfelt conversation, he was able to see we were not those type of people. He gave us some advice and let us stay & keep our reservation. I now have alot of respect and appreciation towards kent for genuinely listening to my husband and i. I can see he truly cares for his hotel guests and ultimately wants to provide them with a safe enviornment. And as a soon to be mother i can truly apprectate that. Thank you, kent.…
