Keri's reviews

Keri was amazing to work with. She set us up at the coolest hotel in Santa Monica for our weekend away. We felt spoiled from the moment we arrived, with credits for dinner and breakfasts. Keri made reservations for us for dinner at a nearby sushi restaurant that was off the charts as well as at the hotel. She had clearly done her research and every meal was delicious! I look forward to working with Keri again in the future.
