Staff was great, very helpful. However, the cleanliness of the property was poor. I forgot a mug in the fridge called about 3 hours later when I realized I forgot it and they threw it out. I actually had my diabetic meds in it. It’s a pet friendly property but it needs to be cleaned properly if pets are allowed on site.
