"I've stayed there before but thus 2as the 1st time by myself. I was a little disappointed. The sheets were clean but obviously had a percent stain. They should have noticed and discarded the sheet. Just before I left I checked all the drawers and there was an apple and 2 Carmel apples in the drawer under the coffee pot. The apple looked pretty good so recently left there but I wondered how long it would stay there if I didn't mention it. I'd probably stay there again but will check the room before I stay. Unfortunately I went to sleep late so just put a towel over the old stain."
