"Nous n'avons passé qu une nuit mais nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour malgré une panne de voiture de location récupérée la veille à Chicago, le matin de notre départ de Milwaukee. Le manager Jackson et son équipe ont été formidables et nous aidé pour appeler la compagnie de rental car puis le dépanneur et ont été d'une aide précieuse pendant une heure à nos côtés ! Le personnel est au Top aussi à l'accueil . Encore merci pour tout"
