Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were very clean and neat. The only issue i had is dogs was barking alot and when the housekeepers clean the rooms all that morning i heard the doors knocked with the latch up. so everytime they went into a room to clean i heard it. Kids on the 3rd level was running. I feel the housekeepers need to have a towel to leave the door open so they dont wake other guest up with the noise of the door opening and closing.
