There were only 2 pillows on each bed. There was only one small garbage can in the room. It was located in the bathroom. No lotion was provided. We had three guests and only one washcloth and hand towel. There was a dirty washcloth in the middle of the hall that remained there during out stay, making us wonder about the housekeeping in general.
