Great staff. Water line broke on 3rd floor causing quite the dripping and puddle in the bathroom in our room below. It was the night before we left so stayed in the room and tried to work around the mess. Management did the right thing and had a restoration company in early the next morning. So issue is being taken care of in good time. But it made for a difficult last night stay for us.
