I really enjoyed my stay- everything was great overall! The room was clean and comfortable, the service was good, and the location was very convenient. My only small suggestions would be to provide a little more toilet paper (at least one roll per guest) and maybe an extra bath towel. Other than that, everything was wonderful. I’d definitely stay again!
