My only complaints are the terrible water pressure and the seemingly half finished clean up & renovation. No signs saying they are renovating, but missing baseboards, stained carpets, and walls needing repainting.

Good place for a short trip, by the way, it would be better if the tub had something to prevent one from slipping since I experienced a fall and I just see how dangerous those types of tubs are.
