excellent stay, minor hiccup

warm welcome generous space walk-in shower good temperature control
Molly, the general manager, extended a warm welcome. she provided helpful local information and answered all inquiries efficiently. the room offered generous space, cleanliness, and good temperature control. the bathroom had a large bath and a walk-in shower. I found this quite excellent!
the printed account was not available at checkout! i received it via email later, but refunding a disputed item proved difficult. despite agreeing to the deduction, the refund process stalled, and i eventually abandoned it.

a mixed stay, some issues need attention

unclean feel weak shower
The main issue was the lack of attention to detail (it really bugged me). our "superior king room" had a generally unclean feel. i spotted cobwebs in corners. the bathroom was small and the shower pressure weak. also, breakfast was a letdown. Several items listed on the menu were unavailable.
