No cleaning 2nd day—not sure why. Didn’t affect much but would like towels. Little human interaction. Don’t ever like that.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was really small to accommodate a king..had to move around things to accommodate our suitcases. Oh well..not the biggest deal but inconvenient. Room was clean. Shower head was absolutely terrible lol. The biggest problem was the walls are paper thin! I could hear everything on each side of us with people talking in a normal tone. Waking us up several times in the middle of the night both nights. Staff was so sweet and helpful upon check in.
