This is a list of companies or products that I like a whole lot, for one reason or another. I personally appreciate quality and customer service and these are all examples of those fine qualities.

• Comet Cleaners
  2550 Midway Road Suite 188
  Carrollton, Texas 75006
  972-250-4415
  These guys simply rock - the best dry cleaner I have ever had. They do the job right every time, fix things without complaining (usually before I notice) and generally provide a "textbook" example of perfect customer service. They also come out with an umbrella when it is raining, carry your clothes to the car for you and provide ice cream in the summer. Worth every dollar you spend there!
  
  
• Q Donuts
  4101 East Park Boulevard
  Plano, Texas 75074
  972-881-0492
  Donuts with a smile - and a few extra donut holes thrown in! I used to live a couple of blocks from this location and they were always wonderful - a cheerful "good morning" and a "have a nice day" went a long way. So did the donuts...
  
  
• Courtyard by Marriott Willoughby
  35103 Maple Grove Road
  Willoughby, Ohio 44094
  800-663-4230
  I showed up one evening sans credit cards (don't ask) and the response from the manager was "have a fresh cookie - we'll check you in and sort this out tomorrow" - I now stay there every time I go to that part of Ohio (and yes, they still act that way)!
  
  
• Metro Maids
  9914 Hurley Way
  Dallas, Texas 75220
  214-350-8585
  I hate cleaning house, so over the years I have had a number of house keeping services. Metro Maids is by far the best (and the cheapest) I have ever had. They are fast, efficient, effective and scare the hell out of my cat. Call them up and quit cleaning your own place!
