No blanket. No chair. No tissues. No shampoo or conditioner. No hand towels or out of the shower walking towel mat. Coulh have slipped and falled. People hanging out in front demanding, " Do you need help. Dou you need help" Then last night 2 people knocked on my door. I called the front desk then they stopped. But heed, when I first came here the front desk wouldn't even answer the phone. Anyway the garden is nice. Back in the day, this was fine place.
