Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I liked the white and blue color scheme in the room. The white paint at the corner of the bathroom needs a touch-up, yet otherwise everything was well-done. The receptionist in the office, Lucky, was very kind and informative. I had to leave my key in the room, since the front office was closed, when I had left early at 5:30 a.m. on October 14th to catch an early morning flight at the San Jose International Airport to go home in New Jersey. Thank you for your services.
