The property was very clean and in a good location . I fell over the suit case stand during the night . I folded it up and moved my case over to the corner so I would not fall over it . Next day we went out sight seeing and when we came back my suit case had been moved back onto the suit case stand. I have never had my things moved around at any hotel I have stayed in before. There is also no sign to leave on the door saying do not disturb.
