ca_medic5 75 Posted August 4, 2013 OK FOLKS I'm in TJ at Marriott , the ride from SD airport was good they picked me on time no issues . I am a picky person 1-10 scale i give them an 8 . driver was great vehicle was clean , wind star van could use some rear shocks, well issue 1 try to arrive later than 3 pm so there's no wait to get ur room. There is a $100.00 deposit they just started. I knew about it.. Room wife and I agreed 7.5-8. Nice and clean king bed . Little older everyone was nice . Irene came by to do paperwork while waiting for room . Surgery was set for 2-3 pm and changed while talking to Irene . Surgery as soon as they can get me there in the morning 8-9 am. All good so far hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
