Pros +
- Clean. Lots of places to eat that we’re walking distance.
- Location and the couple that ran the office
- Very dirty and broken down. Location was nice.
Cons -
- We booked for Monday thru Thursday and needed at add Friday night which was almost the same price as I paid for 4 days. I thought that was too high of a price for one night.
- Clogged shower hasn't solved and the staff pretend not to understand English!
- Broken down. Dirty. Stinky towels. My youngest son asked for Fresh towels and got yelled at my the Indian lady. Got told that if we weren’t happy that we can leave but won’t get our money back.
