The bedding and linens appear aged and in need of refreshing, contributing to an overall impression that cleanliness needs improvement. Some guests have pointed out issues like inadequate toilet flushing and a lack of toilet paper, which affected their convenience. The overall maintenance of the property, including aspects like the floor and bathroom furnishings, has drawn comments about a need for better upkeep and cleanliness.
