Surprise, Surprise!
Upon my brothers return from Afghanistan, he paid me a surprise overnight visit. I received a call from him after he checked in at the Comfort Inn at Dulles airport.
With the vast array of Hotels at the airport I was surprised at my brothers selection, we grew up as Hotel snobs...
Upon arrival at the Hotel, I found that the room was clean and well appointed. The front desk clerk gave a cheerful smile and my brother and I were on our way.
Around 1:00 AM I called the front desk to see how long it would take to get to our morning destination and to try for directions. A very helpful fellow answered gave estimates, directions, and warnings about the traffic. An hour or so later, we finally called for a wake-up call.
Our wake-up call was prompt and courteous and we had both slept very comfortably. A short time after, the phone rang. It was the night auditor that I had spoken with at 1:00 AM, he was calling to warn that he was driving the route that he had suggested for us and that there was a 10+ mile back-up. He then gave us an alternate route to take and wished us a good day!
How fabulous! We arrived at our destination on time.
Great Hotel and WONDERFUL staff!
