the room was clean and we checked in before 3:00 pm and we were able to check in early. However, we requested more blankets and pillows and the front desk told me that they didn't have any extra pillows or blankets at the time however it was fine. they said if they found any extra they will bring it to our room. however no extra. Aside from that everything was excellent.
