Why We Believe What We Believe

If you have ever stayed at a hotel, then you know that some of the most important aspects of your stay included a clean and comfortable room; good food served in a reasonable time; and warm, friendly hotel staff that made you feel welcomed.  If they did their job properly, then you wanted to come back and stay at that hotel again and you probably even told your friends and family about how enjoyable your stay was. 

The secret to making sure that good customer service happens time and time again starts with you, the employee, and us the company.  We are committed to making sure that you are provided with great “internal customer service” so that you can provide great “external customer service” to our valued Guests who choose us over many other hotels and motels.
