Satisfactory stay with some issues

yoga mat padded hangers cleaning frequency lacking knife

The location was very convenient. I walked to many attractions and restaurants. The staff was helpful, especially when I asked for directions. The room included padded hangers, which i appreciated. I also liked that there was a yoga mat available for my use.

Housekeeping only cleaned my room once during my four-night stay. This was not acceptable (in my opinion). there was no knife available to cut my pizza. I think a knife should be available, not just a plastic utensil.
