8/10 Good
"Great location and the staff are very helpful. Our room was cleaned a bit later than we hoped as we rushed out in the morning (around 9:30am) when we saw the cleaning staff a couple of doors down but sadly when we came back around 2:30pm still wasn’t cleaned. Was cleaned about an hour later tho’ - so no big issue at all. We have stayed many times and will again."
