My eye has been itching since using their towel, I really hope I didn’t get pink eye but I’m a little suspicious since it hasn’t gone away. Their hair dryer wasn’t working and I waited around 30 minutes with my hair wet at night to get a working one. In addition there were a lot of stains all over everything, and some mold in the shower. Not a bad price for one night, breakfast was okay but just expect to get hungry by noon.
