Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Just the Place for a Night The cost for this room is as stated. No frills - bathroom was not very clean - both shower and toilet didn’t look as if a scrub brush was ever used, toilet ran excessively, which is so wasteful. Hard to clean or rinse the coffee pot without possibly breaking it - single cup Keurig would work fine instead of an outdated and horribly stopped up water reservoir ##### Andrea R.
