When I checked the staff was very friendly and courteous. We also got help with our luggage and the person who helped was helpful and gave us good tips for sightseeing. The only hiccup was the room don’t have a refrigerator and when I asked to move rooms that had a refrigerator they said it was not necessary and sent one right up. I was happy about that!
