"Staff were wonderful, lovely property, and location is great. Did NOT appreciate being awaken at 8am day of check out, by cleaning staff checking to see if we were still there. Then, another knock at 9:30 by cleaning staff. Check out is 11:00. Staff should check with front desk on who is still there and who has checked out."
