Room was in good condition but some staff were not courteous. This hotel has a 11 am check out unlike other hotels and despite requesting a noon check out at 8 am, the staff on phone agreed to it but the room key was reset at 11 am preventing access to room. It was a hassle to go down to the front desk wait in line to then be told rudely that requesting noon check out does not mean you room will continue to work past 11 am. You need to come down to the front desk to get it re-enabled. It took 30 minutes including wait time to get the issue resolved.
