Stayed at the Hotel in the early 90's. Mike Sr. and the whole family treated me very well. When Mike Jr. took over I would always drop and say hello and he would have my beer ready with out me asking. He always remember what i drank. He would talk to you like it was last week. good times. His family was p
art of that. RIP to all the Olano's. And thanks for your friend ship.
