Great location

Great location and cute place. Really needed a place in the bathroom to place items when getting dressed so they would not get wet. Also it would have been nice to have more than one hand towel and two wash rags for a three night stay for two people.

Girls Trip

The carpets had sticker burs on them and the coffee pot had not been cleaned. The bathroom stayed very warm and I prefer to not have have AC window units. The setup for relaxing and watching movies was conducive and therefore not as relaxing as we hoped. With two people in the full size bed it was very difficult for that second person to crawl out of the bed. The interior door knob came off the first time we touched it but we managed to repair it so that we could lock the unit up that night before bed. The amenities and thought put into the place is lacking but it meets the essential needs.
