Replace blankets and towels

The room was fine, the beds were comfortable, but the blankets were stained, one of them, and the other looked pretty worn. I think the owner needs to replace new blankets because it feels like we're in a common cheap motel. But everything else was fine.

We were put in a corner end room. The hot water was not even lukewarm. The privacy shades didn’t block the outside lights. I was very disappointed.

I was never told by using a debit card it was going to charge me two times during my initial check in. There was loud music playing at 8 am while im trying to sleep. Room was good but the beds were very itchy and when I went to check out the staff were not very empathetic with the situation with me being charged twice but unfortunately it is what it is. Have been here 3 times prior and never had this bad of a time.
