I did advised the reception the next day. The shower needed attention. The water would drain very slowly and the shower base would over flow. One of the over the bed lights doesn’t work. Was very dim.. But did have a good sleep..

Room was updated nice bright paint and decor. However, no trash receptacle in the bathroom. Bathroom sink was cool, but drained slow and would have been nicer to have a bigger counter than a large sink. Was a dirty towel hanging on hook when we checked in.
