I liked the attitude of people and their professional manners and when I needed help, they were there promptly. On arrival though, it took long time to put me in a room as the one allocated had just finished putting carpet and was really smelling. I also did not like the knocks at the door at 0830 for cleaning which meant I was woken up and I had to go out to let the cleaning happen, and came back nearly 4 hours later, and the room hadn’t even been cleaned
