Bill, Dec 2021
My room was a bit technically behind for connecting my devices. But the room was clean and comfortable!! I tried to check in early and provided my mobile number with the front desk representative to call. I did not get a call, but the room was available at 3p. Not a problem, but not what I had become use to. But this was my first trip in a year! No harm, no foul!!!
