Sue in Customer Relations was on the ball, as usual! She had my favorite room ready. I spent 2 minutes checking in, as Sue had everything ready for my check in. The lights in my room were on and the AC was on to combat the hot weather. I got free breakfast - great eggs and gravy.

I stopped by early because I did not know when I could return and wanted to make sure my reservation would be held.
