It was fine for the time being but would not stay again
Pros:

I liked the convenience of the location

Cons:

Upon arrival there were stains on the bed sheets and pillow cases. The toilet would barely flush. We kept having to fill the tank up with water. The sink was clogged and kept filling up every time we used it.
