Everything was pretty clean minus the bathroom. Fire alarm woke us up. There was no staff to direct or help anyone. It was on for over an hour and the hotel made no attempt to tell anyone why or how long it would be. It took us going back in for them to tell us it was fine to go back to our room with the alarm still going… staff and attitudes didn’t make it worth while.
