Wonderful service, love the shuttle, accommodating with our early check in. As always, they go above and beyond expectations to ensure a great stay in Happy Valley. Very impressed with the front desk, shuttle driver, and concierge. We had four rooms for golf outing and every guest remarked on great staff and cleanliness.
