Upon checking in, the young lady was very kind and quickly got us to our room as it was late at night. It was a little icy outside on the sidewalks so she made sure there was plenty of salt down there to keep people from slipping on it. She gave me a requested room on the second floor away from a lot of other noise and people that might be there
