Location was great. Access was easy. Beds were extremely comfortable. The only issue was because the place is so small. I would add some hooks or somewhere to hang clothes , wet towels, things of that kind . it needs a deep cleaning under the bed and corners. The toilet doesn’t flush well, but I’m assuming it’s because of the structure of the building and the age.. however we created great memories there.
