Everything was nice especially for such a reasonable price. Your coffee machine in the lobby is great. If I had to comment on something, I’d say that your light bulbs are very bright and harsh. Some softer light could be great. That said, I’d totally come back. Thank you.

Nice place. if I had some feedback for improvement I would suggest the restroom shower tile and sink needs more cleanliness. I can see soap grime. Overall very comfortable bed and delicious coffee.
