Pleasant but not amazing

Accommodations were nice and my suite was huge! I was well informed that I would be checking in after the front desk closed. I was sent detailed directions on how to obtain my room key via text but it took me awhile to find my room (this is an old Victorian style building). I did see a baby cockroach on the floor which I had to kill. Also the bathtub faucet leaked. Tissue and toilet paper are thin and rough - on the cheaper end. Don’t see any hotel staff there at all during my 1 night stay.
