Yes the room was spotless. What stood out as someone who booked on the last minute, was to get to the boom gate, and my name was already on the list that a Security Officer controlling access had. There were no hassles, and as I walked to the reception, I was welcomed by friendly staff, and received a room key with ease. The stay was enjoyable
