I received a lovely response to a Trip Advisor posting I left for the Phoenix Inn in Lake Oswego, OR (look it up under “The Jamerican”). The manager was delighted with my comments and took the time to write me a thank you note.
What struck me about this hotel that had every right to be ordinary and boring was the attitude of every employee there. Regardless of whether they checked you in, checked you out, cleaned your room or made you breakfast, it was clear that they genuinely cared about their jobs and, by extension, their guests.
