Owner Dhar Patel, an AAHOA member, guided Royce through the inner workings of the hotel’s operations, including running the front desk, turning over a room, and washing and preparing laundry. 

After the tour, Rep. Royce participated in a roundtable discussion to address issues facing hoteliers, including the new overtime rule and the importance of the franchise model.
