9/10 Wonderful! (12 reviews)

Overall this property was a good place to stay so we could spread out and have extra room for our trip. Communication was fine and checkin instructions were very detailed. I cannot give it 5 stars however. The shower curtain and shower were dirty. There were stains on the bed linens and the comforter as well as a hole in the comforter. The property also charges $5/day for parking which was not disclosed in the original price. The exterior of the property had a dog area and people did not clean up after their dog — this was also the area we were required to park.
