Nice hotel with nice staff.

Very clean hotel. Everything looks new. Very friendly staff. The only reason I I didn't give it 5 stars because housekeeping kept knocking on my door even though I had my Do Not Disturb sign up. This happened several times. Also, I arrived early so I had them hold my bags until my room was ready. They charged me $1 per bag. I had $3,000 for my stay. Charging me $1 seems trivial and was a bad customer experience.
