Seven Hills Hotel - Special Class
Seven Hills was one of the best experiences I’ve had traveling. I travel a lot. Oran, who I always wanted to call Michael, but I knew that was wrong 😂, helped me so much with arrangements. Fatima is an awesome gal, and I’m mad at myself for not remembering other names. You might see Groucho Marx ...
