When we arrived we were told there was going to be a party that night. There was a huge party, with a live band and tons of marijuana smoke. We had a miserable first night due to this. Second night was much quieter. This sits right in the university district.

The property was presented as a cottage or small house, they have shipping containers converted into tiny houses, my wife is handicapped could not climb up the ladder to get in the bed had to sleep on the sofa, way overpriced should be $40 to $50 per night at most no ice machine on the complex, they had a band that played till midnight, just overall bad experience. The staff were very nice

The vintage room is awesome. It was very clean. The bed was comfortable. Some great necessities included are hair dryer, steamer, ironing board and iron, as well as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower. There is a Keurig coffee maker with coffee pods and creamer. There is a water pitcher in the full size fridge and ice cube trays in the freezer. There's pots and pans for use on the stove, as well as utensils, plates, and silverware. The decor was really awesome! I especially loved the weathered finish on the cabinets. I love the esthetic of the property. There is a great outdoor area with a stage for events and music. There is some patio furniture near our rental also. The couple that manages the rentals were very kind and helpful. They have a variety of different room options, including the Florida room, the Buddha room, the green room, the animal house room, and the tree house suite. This place will definitely be on pur list when we come to visit.

Our room was 54 degrees due to the very cold snap outside. Inadequate heaters in place. We were advised to turn on oven and crack oven door for warmth. Even using that method, it was not warm enough to shower. We were not offered a refund on our stay. Totally different experience than our prior stay!
