6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was great and had everything we needed. There were only 2 things that we didn’t like; (1) the walk-in shower had a foam curb that was maybe 1” high that went in a straight line from one side to the other but there was a curved shower curtain rod, so water went everywhere outside the shower. (2) The upper cabinets in the kitchenette were really low, about 12 inches above the counter top, even over the sink which made it difficult to wash dishes.
