Another Great Stay!

This was our second time staying in one of our hosts (Albert) properties and it was fantastic! I usually receive upgrades by being a Marriott Rewards member but our host took it upon himself to upgrade me and my family to a deluxe condo in the sky! Everything was great and we really enjoyed our time.
