The room and amenities were great but what really stood out to me was the green Apple spa . From the haircut I received from Betty the Barber to the massage I received from Johnny the best masseuse I have ever had I truly enjoyed the world class spa experience Skylight Hotel offers. Please give my strongest thanks to Johnny for his excellent deep-tissue massage!
Johnny was such a great masseuse I asked for a picture!
