Water supply died while I was taking shower. It came back few minutes later only to die again. Front desk person was the most unwelcoming I have ever seen. Unfortunately I have another reservation which is too late to cancel but would try to avoid this place in the future.

First impression, dirty dishes put away in cupboards, random persons belt left on kitchen chair, dental floss picks on bathroom floor, pull out couch not stripped from previous guests. Great location. Room had a great set up. Really disappointed in cleanliness of room. A lot of money spent and a disappointment.

Beware of exactly what kind of bed you are getting before booking! Expedia showed 2 beds, 1 queen and 1 full. We get there and we have a full size bed and a pull out couch! The couch had a mattress that was about 1 inch think and was the most uncomfortable bed possible. It was like laying on springs and two bars covered with a couple of towels. What a joke! Property never offered a solution or apologized. Only offered for us to cancel our stay for a $50 charge!
