The management and staff were all very accommodating, professional and cooperative. The bell boys were also incredibly helpful with our moving our luggage to multiple floors. Every room came with a gallon of mineral water, a freezer and an automatically set air freshener which kept the room feeling fresh at all times. The ACs were all also working effectively.
