I had a few issues. The cleaning staff were loud and really inconsiderate. They started making a lot of noise in the corridor at 7 AM. They were just chatting without any consideration . This kind of brazen behavior from a hotel staff is outrageous. To. All in all, the experience was not at all pleasant.
