The customer service was excellent.

The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating; when I requested an extra towel for cleaning, they promptly fulfilled my request. I appreciated that everything in the room functioned well, although we did experience a minor issue with the TV. On a separate note, it was quite chilly outside during my stay.
