"Front dest couldn't or didn't want to find Mt reservation until I pulled out a copy."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
After a hour being there a fight break out and the same clerk doesn't take cake of the issue, the trouble maker comes back after being taken off hotel grounds. He come back about four 0r five am and set off fire alarms and open fire extenuaters in the A/C units. Everyone was evaluated and had to sleep in there cars for about two to three hours. I am notbhappy one bit about this whole stay with your hotel. A great deal of this could have been taken care of if the clerk would have put out or had him arrested when this whole thing started.

"When people provide customer friendly service in today’s world, it should be applauded! So many businesses have taken almost and adversarial attitude towards the customer, in other words, they over compensate for a consumer not following through. As a business, it is my understanding, that the business should always follow through and do as they promise! Loyalty between consumers and businesses should remain alive, profit above service is a bad plan and will cost the business in the long run!" R.F. - Denver, CO
