"If you're staying more than a few days, you must ask for more towels several times. They don't do housekeeping everyday if you're staying a longer duration. If you're doing laundry there, be sure to bring quarters because the front desk limits the amount per day. They don't have refrigerator or microwave in the room. Fewer amenities, lower cost. "
