Frank

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We have stayed here before and had very good experiences. Our room this time was a little disappointing as the water pressure was very poor making it difficult to have a shower. The bathroom door was very squeaky which was annoying when sleeping. Breakfast was better than most hotels offer and the staff was very pleasant.

Claudia

Disliked: Staff & service
Overall the room was nice, clean. Checking in was easy and counter staff was great. Not so great, however, was when we had the “Do Not Disturb” sign on our door and housekeeping knocked and entered our room without even waiting for a response. Luckily we weren’t in bed or getting dressed at the time and managed to stop her from completely entering. What’s the use of a sign if it’s just going to be ignored? Not impressed.
