Enjoyed stay. We would liked to have been in a bigger, if possible. room. We stayed for 9 days. Not enough storage. No storage in night tables and had to ask for 10 hangers. Maybe some hooks on walls.

Room was clean, although very very strong perfume smell. We had to open the window all night to be able to sleep. Other than that, are one night stay was comfortable, close to the gardens, and close to restaurant.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room had scuff marks everywhere in the room along the walls. The best part was being woken up to full on jackhammering that shock us out of bed with no prior knowledge or information from the staff. When I asked the front desk about it, they acted like I was crazy. I have videos recording the sound and pictures of the work being done. I immediately reached out to Expedia who started resolving the situation. Otherwise the location was fantastic but wished they cared about their guests.
