Seemed a bit under staffed and took a while to check in and check out. Our shampoo and body wash dispensers were completely out in the shower so we used what we brought. The hair dryer is not in a bag and hangs on the bathroom door handle. Staff nice and very clean facility. Only one washer and one dryer but work well. Quiet and feels safe. Would stay here again.
