The coffee maker would not work until it was Descaled - no vinegar around so didn't take the chance it would clean with water only which was disappointing as I need my morning coffee. Something the cleaning crew should not have overlooked. Got woke up both nights by neighbor guests in the Great Hall as the walls are paper thin - second night worse, loud and drunk 'til 1 AM. Bathtub not ideal and curtain would not fully surround so keeping the water in and not on the floors was a task - would have preferred a shower. Someone with mobility issues certainly would have a hard time getting in and out of the tub. TV needs to be hooked up to an antenna for local channels or cable as the apps did not work properly - one in Spanish only (Netflix). If you are looking for a quiet getaway - this isn't it. If you like niche old building which was once a Lutheran Church and close to campus it is fine. Old hardwood floors that creak when you walk is nice and overall the place is clean. Why the host would instruct the guest to clean the dishes and put the linens near the front door is odd considering the cost, seems like that should be housekeeping's responsibility.
