The bathroom did not have soap or liquid hand soap, which was disappointing (fortunately I had hand sanitizer). Additionally, the bed was very uncomfortable.

This is a basic property that provides a bed for the night. The property needs maintenance. While my room had been cleaned, the door had years of grime and the bathroom gaps around the tub enclosure and mold.

Great location and very clean/comfortable. None of the outlets in the room would hold a plug in though (too loose) which was extremely frustrating.
