| Hostel staffer was really helpful. I wanted to extend the car retal period. I asked the staffer to call and ask. She was willingly to call the Budget office and made a deal for me. She also suggested which location I should go to see Northern Light.
She really helped me a lot. I appreciate her kindness heartedly.
Thank you.
