Friendly staff. The room needed refreshing. The bathroom door didn’t close, the sink and Kleenex holder were cracked, the shower floor tile needed bleaching. But the bed was comfortable and the location was good.

Good location and walkable to various places. This is not a resort, so ditch the “resort fee”. Just be truthful and increase the base rate, if you need to charge more.
