I asked for a late checkout and the property manager accepted for an extra charge. The room itself was well appointed and spacious. What I did not like about my stay was the property manager's questions which were several and I was slowly losing patience answering them. Apparently bookings made through Expedia.com do not show guest details and therefore why she had to ask me all the questions that could have been found on Expedia as part of my profile. The worst part about my stay was that the property manager's son (I assume) comes across as a weirdo always aggressively asking if 'I'm ok' or if 'everything was good'. He even tried to enter my room despite knowing that I had a late checkout however he was very apologetic about it stating that he assumed I had checked out. I do not understand why he assumed this as I had not handed my room key yet. They could have also called to make sure I had checked out so there was no excuse for the guy to enter the room. Fortunately, I was able to communicate with him from inside the room before he could open the door. Had he entered, he would have been witness to a fully naked man about to take a shower. This almost felt like an invasion of privacy and I would encourage guests to stay elsewhere.
