Underwhelming Stay. Some Issues.

acceptable locationterrible noisepoor cleaning

The location was acceptable.

The noise was awful. Sounds from other rooms and the hallway seeped right through the walls, and I found sleeping difficult. The cleaning job needs improvement, I saw stains on the sheets and a questionable mark on the bathroom. the shower seemed like it could use a good scrub. It was not what I expect.
