I stayed in this hotel some years ago and I was impressed by how well maintained and clean it is. For some reason, I had house keeping coming to the room waking me up at 8.30 am then 9.40 am (checkout time is 11 am) even though I had the do not disturb light on. Apart from that, all else was great.
