Everyone at the property was very nice...
However - THe room they put me in had windows that looked out over a brick wall and AC Unit. Basically Zero light in the room. It was depressing. The housekeeping kept coming into my room unnannounced... And once while I was naked in the shower - and even after I told him to leave, he still entered. Very disappointed about this hotel.. But.. Oh well.
There is no room service or mini bar and the hotel cafe was closed. The hotel should have emailed us to advise us there would be no room service or mini bar prior to our stay.
