Staff was great, room was great, but there was a lot of noise from neighbors. We were on the third floor in a corner room. You can hear barking, showers running etc. Elevator ran slow as only one was working and staff uses the same elevator.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was OK. It needed a little more thorough cleaning. The soap dispensers in the shower had black rings around, which were visible as you sqeeze for the soap to cone out. Also, there was a vent on the wall, which was above the coffee maker; it was ful of dust.

Room was clean, sanitized, well stocked. I can not say enough about Ms. Elizabet!!! She truly is the glue for this hotel.
