In an era where the customer service has taken huge step backward, every aspect of customer service here is still very real! From a call after going to our room to make sure our room was satisfactory, to directions around town! Every interaction was only outdone by the wonderful hotel itself! Clean, comfortable and highly recommended by this very satisfied customer!

Testimonials:
"Thank you so much for an amazing website. I had a very short time frame to manage a bus tour of 45. I needed hotels and banquets in less than 10 days. The destination was West Palm Beach - high season - and effectively sold-out. Within two hours I had responses back from three available hotels within my price range. I was able to sign a contract within 24 hours and manage the rest of the program. I continue to be impressed with your concept and will be a frequent user of your site." L.B. - Grand Rapids, MI
