This is the freshest smelling hotel of its kind — super clean and well maintained. Breakfast starts early, which is a plus. The pool is in good shape. If you want full room cleaning service each day, you may have to request it explicitly. We stayed 3 nights and housekeeping changed out the toilet paper, but that was all. They were cleaning rooms all day long, but perhaps the focus is on rooms people have vacated. Beds were comfy. Blackout curtains are great.
