To sum it up in one sentence - "It was an unpleasant check-in experience but pleasant checkout experience". Everything in between was good. The place is nice and clean and the neighborhood is ok (some loud music at 3am from the road notwithstanding) with great connectivity - bus stop right across the street. Perhaps better suited to single / couples than families with kids - given that kids will jump and hop and that makes a noise on the wooden floor which is not welcome.
Jullett was very nice in agreeing to our late checkout request - really appreciate that, though during check-in, her coldness (my wife introduced herself and did not get a response!) was surprising.
I would strongly recommend the place for single/couples who play strictly by the rules (its like zero tolerance, I gather)...
