Parking was easy. The bathroom had used soap and shampoo. The TV was broken. The carpet heavily stained and they asked for a surprise $50 damage deposit, neglected to tell us breakfast hours - though I am not sure we would have eaten there. Look . I know you get what you pay for and I expected low quality- but clean and serviceable.
