Good hot water but loose plumbing fixture handles and missing drain plugs. Shower head just the right height for somebody 5’-4” tall. Linen clean, but thread bare. Clean everywhere, except behind the furniture. WiFi connects but Internet doesn’t work. Hey, you get what you pay for and nothing more. "
