Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The location is great and the staff checked us out was great as well. The bathroom was very clean when we checked in.

Negative: The room layout was kind of strange but pretty large comparing to other hotels in the area. The issue was that the cleaning staff did not clean the bathroom at the 2nd night. The bathtub was dirty, so we had to clean it up. The floss and toilet paper were not filled. We did not bother to call as it was near midnight. We were disappointed it was not cleaned even with the high tips we left on the 1st night. Also, we were not explained about breakfast areas and complimentary drinks when we checked in. We found it out when we were checking out.

Summary: It was okay, could've been better.
