Our room was smaller than what is pictured; it was difficult to negotiate around the end of the bed to get to the bathroom. Housekeeping was poor. Tub/shower looked dirty. We had to go to office to get hand soap and a box of tissues. Hopefully, we had clean linen. Would not have wanted to stay here more than one night.
