Fun family location and excellent customer service.
This was a unique fun hotel that my family stayed at on a cross country move. We needed extra space for the family and the Sweet was truly top-notch.
The best part of our stay was Kately!
We accidentally left medication behind and she called us that morning to let us know that she had it and wanted to know if she could mail it to us. This is so above and beyond and we were so grateful. Years ago, my mom left all of her medication in a room and they just threw it all away. We called not too many hours after checkout and it was gone. For Caitlin to call and then follow through with the shipping was so sweet and so kind. The hotel is very lucky to have her.
