- “Should have been our indicator to request another first thing as there was a little trash left in the kitchen bin.” 4
- “WiFi. Hardly a bar of service in our far corner of the building. Couldn't connect the kid's iPads which was honestly starting to get me really concerned.” 4

- “The bathroom has a pocket door which made the room feel larger, I think, since you didn't have to slide down by the toilet to open or close it.” 6

- “The bathroom is not overly large but doesn't feel like tight quarters. There's only one sink though there's plenty of counter space on either side.” 6
