The cleaning staff were helpful. Out iron had a burnt plate and was immediately replaced with a brand new iron out of the box. We unfortunately had a very noisy family near us, baby and child cried for for long periods. Maybe families like that need to spaced between rooms. I did not like the remote over a camera for checking in or check out. I prefer a more personalised service. Shower head was very irregular and hard to get fully wet, especially to wash long hair. Otherwise the place was good.
