"Overall, my stay was pleasant. The hotel was clean, quiet, and provided all of the amenities I needed. The staff was also very friendly and helpful, and I was pleased with my stay in general. However, I did have one very concerning experience that I feel should be mentioned. At approximately 6:30 in the morning, someone attempted to enter my room using a key card. Thankfully, I had the door latch engaged, so they were unable to enter. When I asked the front desk about the situation, I was told that it was not housekeeping, although it could have been security staff. That means someone apparently had a key card that could access my room, which is a serious security concern. While everything else about my stay was fine, this incident left me feeling very uneasy."
