Room was tight and tired. Curtains lacking hooks and glides and not easy to close/open. No hook in bathroom on which to hang clothing. Placement of couch facing out from under the TV was bizarre.

No one at reception, phone number on door didn't work. Waited half an hr., then finally found number on website. Reception mostly closed. Only 1 TV station available, tho Netflix advertised. Asked staff to fix twice - they were nice enough, but never got fixed. Grit or sand on kitchen area floor when we arrived, not swept in the 3 days we were there.
