our arrival was so tender. a kind man greeted us with parking options and took our bags. a lovely lady checked us in. she was friendly and professional. another gentleman settled us into our room. later, my wife needed a fan and the concierge brought one to us. i had a nice conversation with shubhanrav and ashor over coffee.
