The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Pros: Clean, good location, basic small room. Cons: small travel size pillows instead of “real” pillows, only 1 washcloth for two people, room was VERY hot the first night. We turned off the heat and opened windows but it didn’t really cool down until the next day. Really the cons are easily fixable as this property appears to be a work in progress.
