"Only issue was my TV wasn't working last night... otherwise, it was great!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Nashville Airport/Opryland

10/10 Excellent

"Yajaira is the only reason I give this property 5 stars and an excellent rating. In the eight days I’ve been here I have witnessed how she acted more like a manager than the manager herself. No job is too big nor small for her. While management sat in the back she was trouble-shooting long lines of customers (more than any front office manager I saw during all times of the day), when a transient took over the main floor bathroom she handled it alone, although there were hotel employees in the vicinity who were aware of the situation. She handled it like a pro, kept things calm and respectful and even helpful to the beleaguered person, as she firmly and kindly led him to the door. Even as he returned to the property again, she immediately solved his problem of his lost items and escorted him for a quick departure. Those skills are usually found or taught at the highest level of leadership and yet they seem innate to Yajaira. She should be the manager here. You are lucky to have her. She knows and maintains good relationships with all patrons and stakeholders who enter and leave the hotel. I’ve been working in the cafe area adjoining the front desk and I’ve seen her professionally and appropriately regard each person who enters this space. She’s sees us as people versus problems. As a business owner myself, I value an employee like her. She’s personable and works beyond expectation for her guests. She represents you well. She should train this staff for your brand reputation."
