Convenient and Clean Stay

ample spacescheduled cleaningeasy parkingcarpet stains
The room offered ample space and contained a large tv set. I liked the scheduled cleaning service, it seemed eco-friendly. The provided toiletries were also a plus for me. The parking was easy and close to amenities.
I noticed stains on the carpet and chair inside the room. I found toe clippings on the floor from a prior visitor. The shower was also blocked, which led to a flooded bathroom extending into the hallway.

My room was so spacious and clean! I loved the powerful shower. The room had lamps, this made getting ready a little challenge though. I had to use my phone to see what I was doing, this was a minor issue for me!
