Comfortable beds and bedding. Bathroom was clean. Staff was friendly and efficient. We were allowed to store our luggage both before and after our stay for free of charge. Might be an America. thing but I missed air conditioning, ice and wash cloths. I did appreciate the large fan. It helped with air circulation.
