The bedrooms and bathrooms are spotless, and the shower is amazing, steaming hot with good water pressure. You enjoy taking a shower like at home. They also provide shampoo and shower gel, which is amazing in case we forget. The beds are very comfortable, and they include a towel, which is a plus I loved.
