We had an awesome time staying at your place. The little kitchen is equipped with all the essentials one needs for cooking. There is a grill outside too. The beds are very comfy. The area is very quiet and calm.

I really wanted to love this property, even with the extremely steep climb to get there with all of our luggage. The staff was very accommodating. But unfortunately, we booked a three bedroom suite and two of those three bedrooms had no power. The breaker continued to trip so there was no air or lighting on the top level. Expedia and the hotel have yet to refund any amount to us after that. I’m extremely disappointed in both Expedia and this hotel. Having no power, no air the middle of July and absolutely no refund is completely unacceptable by both Expedia and this hotel.

The place was great, staff was great. The price was pretty high so expectations were pretty high. My issue was the air conditioner in the rooms upstairs kept tripping the breaker, during the day staff helped and offered to send someone but i got it going and left, over night i didnt sleep at all it was hot in the room and the breaker would trip every 15 minutes after the breaker was reset. There was no windows to leave open only the sliding door, the mesh on the door was ripped so i didnt trust just leaving that door open. My kids were on the other room so i had to keep resetting the breaker. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.

It is a budget friendly option if you are trying to save. However, we never once saw staff onsite. The room key was left by the front window and no one was there at checkout either. I did step on a gooey substance that stuck to my sock as soon as we walked in. As i was looking for a nightstand outlet, I noticed candy wrappers behind the nightstand. It also had a musky smell so we opened the windows. Then, our room was filled with a weed smell from I’m guessing our neighbors.
