"Room was fantastic, towels, dishes, bedding very clean. Single king bed room was a little tight but I like the use of space. Property was easy to get to and find, check in/out procedure with door codes was perfect for me because I work early and long hours so not having to go to front desk was very clutch. Overall I had a great stay. Bathroom is clean and has good hot water, kitchenette in the room and the top freezer box in fridge was very helpful"

"The restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday all year. Our balcony was loaded with spider webs but they did come clean it off after I asked. The bathroom had a window that was colored but did shine into the bedroom when the light was turned on in the night one set of sink lights didnโ€™t work (maybe because it would have been too bright). The lights by the bed had to be turned on at the wall switch in order to use the attached electrical plugs. But overall it was nice and we would come again."
