10/10 Excellent
"I cannot stress enough, the excellent service of the staff. The front desk staff went above and beyond to help me during my stay while I was there I lost my purse and nearby location and a member of the front desk went and got it for me after I had already had to leave for my flight another member of the front desk, actually walked my purse over to the FedEx to ship it back to me.. they will never know how much that meant to me during this trip and to get home and receive my stolen prayers with all of its belongings in it. 10 out of 10 recommend!!"
