Disliked: Cleanliness
When checking in for a multi-day stay, they notified me that they do not service the rooms daily unless requested. I told them then that it was important to me that the room is cleaned and they said no problem, they would take care of it. The next day after a being away for 12hrs, the room had not been cleaned by 6pm. When requested, I was told that I would have had to requested it, which I had. They then partially refreshed the room and rehung dirty towels from the floor. I definitely would not recommend.
