I tried to stay here When it was a boutique hotel because I thought it was so special I never ever thought that people would actually have the opportunity to call this place home At some point because of the incredible work of the sticks company This is uh, this is going to be exciting opportunity for us to continue to attract Incredibly talented people here to five points.
