Front Desk Check in MOST AMAZING!!!
Is it Micky at the front desk? He was a wealth of knowledge about restaurants and wine. Since we are from Paso Robles, he also gave us some good recommendations local to us. He suggested dinner at Toma and it was awesome! You can tell he loves his job and he is a definite asset to your hotel!
