Check-in was good. Our room was clean and staff brought towels or removed trash when asked. There were luggage carts available right at the temporary parking spot. The pool is nice. We did have an issue with the people next to our room smoking on their balcony. It is a no smoking building and the smoke drifted over to us. Hotel staff spoke with the person and it stopped. Overall a good experience, will stay here again
