Cleaning can be better
Pros:

Extensive parking

Cons:

They gave us a room that had a strong dog smell (because they are pet friendly) , we requested another room which was good but we found leftover food in the fridge, when we complained about it and requested cleaning service for the room on our second day, they mentioned the cleaning is scheduled once a week only. Because the leftover was smelling bad in the fridge they told us just to leave the leftover food outside our room, but it was not picked up that night.
