The Milo

The Milo

10/10 Excellent
"the cleanliness of the room was awful. It was not cleaned well. Underneath the sink where you would normally find toiletries had a big pile of dirt or dust..Location great though. Valet great. Loved the bikes, but those need to be cleaned/repaired managed a little better."
