Mediocre stay. Some ISSUES need attention
unclean grout road lights
I found SOME dog hair in the bathroom. The shower grout looked unclean. That REALLY bothered me. The road lights shone brightly INTO THE room making it difficult to sleep. The lack of opening windows also made the room far too hot. I think improvements are required.
