Family stay
When we got there found (1) bathroom toilet wasn't working and dirty. The shower was leaking out to hallway. Was fixed but told not to use and a noisy fan was to stay on

Great family spot
We were traveling for my daughter’s graduation, so it was the whole family. Having four bathrooms made life so much easier for our busy weekend! My only complaint would be the mattresses were not best, but we enjoyed our stay!
