"We had a great stay. The room was clean, the service professional, the view of the city fabulous. The only negative was the lack of shelves or luggage racks to put our stuff on. And the bathroom didn’t have hooks, shelves, or conveniences for the four of us to organize our things. Even the extra towels had to go on the floor. I feel like that would be an easy upgrade to elevate the comfort of the stay."
