"The staff was amazing. While my husband was at the hotel I went to Walmart, while there my car battery died. I had to contact AAA and wait for the to come. The hotel allowed my husband to stay in his room until I arrived. AAA got there around 12:30 and had to replace the battery. There was no extra charge from the hotel.
