Diane, Sept 2024
Bathrooms are in serious need of updating. Tiny corner shower, pedastal sink, and claw tub for one. All in a spacious room that could easily hold a jacuzzi tub, a shower three times the tize, and a ling vanity sink. For $400 a night, I don't want to see mildew and junkiness around the shower base.
