I suggest that the company add handrails for the bathtub and towel racks or hooks so that guests can make the choice to be eco friendly and re-use towels more than one day.

Great option when traveling to or from boston. Virtually no traffic congention when leaving in the am. Right off the interstate. Becoming slightly dated, but was priced very reasonably so its a good bargain! Decent breakfast options as well for a continental.
