Well, the first room we were offered- was occupied…as we found out once we entered… The second room, was clean- ish, but neither the tv nor the refrigerator worked… and the king bed had no pillows- and when I inquired- was told there were none to be had…loud neighbors, noisy ac unit- which are par for the course, lessons learned… do the research, I was suckered in by a good pic and great price, but remember- you get what you pay for…. Did I mention the big section of the gutter flying off the roof when we stepped out, narrowly missing me? Que sara.
