It didn't matter if the guest was paying out of pocket or if the employer was paying. He just could make anyone content about being sent to the Crowne Plaza across the street (which wasn't nearly as nice as our hotel).

I pretty much nominated him for "Employee of the Month" every month.
Folks like Craig are what I call "naturals". Awesome!
