Positive: Very nicely updated. Everything was clean & comfy, and in good repair. The soaps & lotion had a light citrus scent, and were in large bottles attached to the wall (better than struggling with the little dinky tubes imo).
Negative: The bathroom sink was mounted really low. As if it was an ADA room, but it wasn’t. No biggie, just weird.
Summary: Very nice
