Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The house was tidy but not clean. The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable. This is a room in a house that shares the bathroom and kitchen with other guests, but there was no way to lock the room. There was no room service or cleaning of any kind. I was given one towel and one washcloth for the week. I do not recommend staying here.
