Liked: Cleanliness
The actual condo itself was nice but the check in process was difficult, staff working the hotel was extremely rude, and the fact they only allowed you to park 1 vehicle near the hotel although there was plenty of empty parking spots was extremely frustrating. I would not stay here again for these reasons.

Read this before booking with this company.
Not accommodating & don’t put their customers first. I was scheduled to go during the horrific hurricane that hit the NC mountains in September. A state of emergency was put in place. The entire town lost power & roads were washed away. Mud slides occurred. The contract states “If State or local authorities order a mandatory evacuation of an area that includes the Property, Renter shall comply with the order. Upon compliance, Renter will be entitled to a refund of the prorated rent for each night that Renter is unable to occupy the Property because of the order.” However this was not followed, I was not refunded.
