The Manager Robin is outstanding. My wife and I stayed for our 49th Anniversary. My Texas daughter wanted to surprise us. She called and spoke with Robin and Robin was amazing. She gathered a card, wine, flowers, Wine glasses and handmade dipped chocolate strawberries for our room when we arrived. On her day off she happily made our anniversary extra special. Robin is one of a kind! She cares for customers beyond expectations. Thank you Robin! ❤️
