Disappointed this time around

Had great experiences here in the past but this time wasn’t so great - we found hair in the floor, there was barely a quarter of a roll of toilet paper and no spare, the shower wasn’t properly cleaned around the drain and we found a wad of hair in the stopper when we cleaned it ourselves. The communal kitchen, while not necessarily of use, was one of the stickiest places I’ve ever been and the smell in the fridge was very unpleasant. At least our bedding and towels were clean, and the heater worked very well. Wi-fi is a little spotty though.

Location is great, staff was friendly. Unfortunately the room was seemingly not properly cleaned. The toilet bowl was filthy and the fridge had the previous tenants food leftovers in there still.

Disappointed

We were disappointed with our stay. There was no room service provided, and only one room key was given for two guests, which was very inconvenient. Despite repeated requests, the owner was unresponsive. Additionally, we were not given fresh towels for three days. Overall, the service and hospitality were lacking.
