Room was clean and spacious. Front desk was friendly. Check in was a breeze. Continental breakfast was good with a wide variety of foods. The reason I gave 4 stars is because check out is 11am and at 9am housekeeping was knocking on door. We had the do not disturb sign on the door. Then they came back knocking again half hour later. Felt very rushed to leave.
