Liked: Staff & service
The Good: 1) Reasonable Price 2) Great Location Could Be Better: 1) Only 1 trash can in the bathroom. Since there is no housekeeping they should spring for the $2 to buy a 2nd trash can. The single small can quickly fills after 2 or 3 days. 2) No television service - Roku only - Only a couple of national streams - no local news, weather or channels. The Bad: 1) Mold in the shower. 2) Barn door on the bathroom - no one wants to hear their spouse or kids blowing up the bathroom.
