The room was very clean. The front desk was very nice and friendly. Housekeeping was even friendly when they came to the door to tell us it was check out time even granted us late check out without giving an attitude. Pleasant experience. The water in the shower stayed hot for hours.

Typically, my stays here encounter lots of extra creepy crawling guests if you get my point. I basically can't bring in my suitcase unless I want to leave with stowaways. But this time, to my delight, NO BUGS at all. A nice clean room. Thank you thunderbird.
