Property condition
- Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was mostly clean except for a desk chair that had crumbs all over it. Bed was comfortable. Hot water. Pretty view. The time had recently changed (3 days prior to my stay) and the clocks in the rooms had not been changed (which I didn’t even realize j til morning). Grateful I had my iphone clock/alarm set. Staff was kind and helpful.

- Liked: Staff & service
I loved the staff, they were extremely friendly. the shuttle was also extremely convenient. however, I didnt like the walls cracking in the hotel room. and I had no control over the thermostat. even though I raised the temperature in the room, it stayed where it was, even when the heat was on all day and night.
