Be aware that the front desk is only open until 11 PM. Our reservation was canceled while we were already on the way and couldn’t arrive before the cutoff, so I had to find another place to stay last-minute, which was very stressful. The receptionist was also quite rude when I called. Fortunately, we weren’t charged for the canceled stay.
