A/c, even when turned as low as possible was only temperate. Blow dryer did not work. Tub had rust around drain hole. I’m certain all of this will be resolved but I didn’t have time to stop at desk to request fixes, so part of the fault is on me. Very pleased with cleanliness of property. Staff were pleasant. Plenty of parking, especially needed with a large truck.
