"Loved the check-in check-out staff, as well as the lounge/kitchen/beautifully sunshine-y area. Slightly disappointed about the shower situation and lack of mirror in the single queen room - it would’ve been not only brighter but also the desk is just perfect for the light fixture to reflect. Luckily I brought a small mirror but would’ve appreciated a wide range wall mirror or a full body mirror - would’ve made a huge difference."
