Check in staff was amazing! Room and bed were comfortable, not the quietest location but the noise was not all night long so it’s okay. The fan in the washroom broke and popped out, I called for maintenance guy to fix it, the maintenance guy knocked door once only, as I was walking to the door he already opened my door. I thought that was inappropriate. Other than that everyone else were amazing.
