Nice hotel over all, no housekeeping service after a certain hour, unsuall because hotels usually have turn down service and upon request they will change the bedding. We were getting ready when the housekeeping personel came early in the morning and by the time we left we requested our room be cleaned and we were told no housekeeping..the only thing that was odd. Being ive stayed in many hotels and they have no issues with this accommodation. Sometimes your still resting from the night before, and arent going to wake up at 10 or so for housekeeping, over all the check in /check out was fast, the elevators have a safety feature that you need a key to go up to the designated floor. Breakfast was....um..well not a regular buffet where you just get the food options, more like you have the ingredients and tools to make yourself. Lol. Air condition worked very well.
