Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
It was on a busy street, not a walkable area, the snacks & coffee were a nice touch, the water pressure in the shower was awful, bath towels to small, beds were good. House in general is dark. Rooms need some floor lamps. Can we put a toilet paper holder in the bathroom please. Shelves in the shower would be nice too.
