I chose it for its price and location. Couldn’t have been better for that. Maintenance and cleaning issues that are easy to fix such as handle off shower and remote not working, shower needs a scrub not just a wipe. Do that and couldn’t fault it. My room was located next to traffic lights so Billy Eileish
