Not bad for an overnight stay. Room was descent and clean. The bathroom needed some extra detail. Don’t get me wrong. It was clean but the cabinet where the towels were rolled into was dusty. When I pulled out my “clean towel” it grabbed all the dust with it. 2nd the faucet needs to be replaced. It was hard to turn on and reach my desired water temperature. For one night it was fine. Descent.
