"The room was clean and a good size for 2 adults. The shower had very good water pressure. The TV was on top of the closet and was at an uncomfortable angle to watch. The TV was also on the small size, maybe 32”. We stayed 5 nights; on 2 of the nights, the room next to us were talking loudly and they had a dog who barked."
