I had the pleasure of working with Kris on a small training event at Pinnacle Hotel where I was his client. Kris provided exceptional customer service and went out of his way to ensure I was completely satisfied. I have worked with a lot of people in the hotel industry and Kris is certainly one that stands out and who I would enjoy working with again. Thanks for all your hard work Kris! I will certainly keep the Pinnacle Hotel in mind for future events as I had such a fantastic experience.
