Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff interaction was minimal. Check in/out was easy. Space/amenities were adequate. Location was excellent for my dining and excursion needs. Unfortunately, it appears my room had bedbugs, which is going to make the next few days uncomfortable, assuming I didn't carry away hitchhikers.
