Hampton Inn Staff Praised
Posted by: | Comments
In a recent Letter to the Editor in the Valley Times News, Hampton Inn & Suites employees Patti Jones, Christine Jourden and Melinda Edwards were praised from guests of the hotel for going above and beyond the call of duty.
When a couple from North Carolina, who were in town for their grandson’s graduation at Auburn University, found a flat tire prior to leaving for the graduation they were rendered helpless and had to call family members to pick them up at the hotel so they wouldn’t be late for the graduation ceremonies.
Little did they know that while they were away, Jones, Jourden and Edwards had made numerous phone calls to see if someone could replace the tire. When the couple arrived back at the hotel, they found that King Chevrolet had come to the hotel parking lot to take care of the tire at no cost. When the couple learned that Edwards had left a tip for the individual who fixed the tire, they offered to pay her back. Edwards would not hear of it and simply asked the couple to pay it forward. The couple was overwhelmed with the kindness and thoughtfulness of the Hampton Inn & Suites staff and good folks at King Chevrolet. Congratulations to Patti, Christine and Melinda for a job well done!
Located in Lanett, Alabama, the award winning Hampton Inn & Suites is ideally situated within the Greater Valley Area, convenient to all of the area attractions such as West Point Lake, Riverside Country Club and the Valley Community Center.
