"Great location & beautiful property. Unfortunately the TV in the room did not work. Also, the stairs from first floor to second floor need to be cleaned bc it gives a bad first impression. I was worried that the room would be dirty, but the room was very clean, strong bleach smell, I had to open window & blast AC. The only other issue was that there was no hand soap at the sink. All in all, good stay, I would stay there again."
