They need to clean the bathrooms better. There was a soap bar left in the shower and on the wallpaper behind the sink had spots of white specks of tooth paste and soap residue. The bed was comfortable and the room was roomy. Just an average room.

Overall, a nice stay. Clean room, great shower, very good bed. I did have some issue making the a/c stay on— kept having to restart it. And in the morning, they had a beautiful charcuterie out sling with some yogurts…but no silverware to serve/eat it with— so, that was a problem.
