Great place to stay close to everything. Rooms are quite nice. Bathroom needed a little attention. Need to put tea towels and dishwashing/dishcloth under sink as everyomne doesnt want to use the dishwasher. Also a clothes drying rack after you finish doing your washing, orva dryer in bathroom too. Bathroom needs a exhaust fan. Everything else great. Thanks
