Perfect..but make sure about check out timing, they don't consider even though someone is sick
Everything was just perfect. Only complaint is that we requested some delay in check out as one of the kid was sick, but they didn't allow. They said cleaning person will come as early as 10 AM so we had to check out at 10 AM. But we were outside and nobody showed up.
