Turning on the showers smells sewer. No area to place luggage/clothes. Fridge & microwave are unclean and disgusting. Drawer from a tiny “dresser” doesn’t latch & keep on opening. Noisy and lack of insulation from the outside.

I enjoyed my stay a lot , the room was clean area was quiet. And fairly close to attractions we were interested in. The only thing I was kinda sad about was there was no bath tub for my kiddos but even that wasn’t a big deal 10/10
