All very good. Only thing: there should be body lotion and hair conditionner in the room. Also, checkout time is noon. Cleaning came at 11:45 AM, sending me scrambling to vacate the room because my phone wasn't handy to check the time. They didn't ask I vacate right (it's Ok, we will come later) then but I got the message.
