Disliked: Amenities
I booked a suite with ensuite and when I arrived the owner directed me to park on the road and said my room changed and told me to walk around the house to a side door. There was no path just wet grass and it was dark. When I entered I was told that my was just off the kitchen and that my bathroom was in the hallway. The door of my room was a French door made of glass squares with a blind taped over it which didn’t block out the light. This is someone’s house with children and a tv on the other side of the wall. Needless to say I was appalled at this setup since I travel regularly for my job have never experienced this before. At $160/night for 3 nights I expected more from this experience and left feeling completely ripped off. Do not stay here!!!!!

Very nice room, however i wasn’t expecting it to be like an Airbnb with the host living in the home while we were there! The room definitely wasn’t clean, everything was dusty, there were stains/marks all over the wall and on the curtain. The shower could definitely use a good cleaning as well. The host was kind though and it was okay for our short trip down!
