"carpets are really dirty, i would want to bring extra towels to throw down for walking around barefoot. no soap at sink; the body wash and shampoo + conditioner options in shower appear to be the same pink goop so don't expect nice hair or fresh skin if using those staff was not very welcoming.., not rude but not friendly. their dog is, though! :) might bark at first, but after a couple sniffs and chin/cheek scratch it was all good. stayed two nights and it served purpose"
