"The gal who checked me in was absolutely amazing. It was so nice to check in with someone who had an actual conversation with me. She was super knowledgeable, offered advice on how to get around, & made us feel welcomed. The last time we stayed at a hotel in Seattle, it was the complete opposite. When we came back to her to ask advice, she gave us her full attention & made sure we were taken care of. Thank you, so much! We appreciate it & made the stay that much better. "
