Atrion Hotel

"The unit is spacious with 2 balconies. However, there were no sheets to make up the couch (listed as another sleeping option) and the floor had footprints on it, indicating the floor had been unmopped between occupants. The inside of the couch had wood chips and shavings from its particleboard construction (which were all over the blankets it contained) which would’ve been simple to vacuum — but wasn’t. These are all easy fixes the management of this property could do to increase the quality of the property."
