Disliked: Check-in
Laura is helpful and responsive. The rooms were clean and environment quiet, with immediate access to the canal. I feel short-changed when 2 of the 9 days are shortened to 8 hours of access to the room. You’re not allowed to check in any earlier than 4pm, and must check out by 9 am. Nonetheless, you pay for a full day. We went the room well before 4pm, and there was no cleaning going one. No reason to postpone access until 4pm. It’s just fair to charge full-rate for days when you only get to use it for 8 hours.
