Francisco Vacations from $314

Clean rooms and friendly staff

Beautiful house, comfortable bed, everyone was friendly!

The house was very clean, comfortable, and nicely maintained, which we really appreciated during our stay. However, there were two downsides to be aware of. First, after booking, the owner asked us to pay an extra money for cleaning fee, even though it was not clearly listed in the Expedia booking details. I chose not to argue since I didn’t want to ruin our family trip, but future guests should expect additional charges. Second, privacy was an issue the owner lives in the basement, and it felt uncomfortable at times, especially with my child playing and moving around. Overall, it’s a nice property, but keep in mind the extra costs and limited privacy.

The actual condition of this hotel didn't match the reviews on Expedia. Everything is a bit shabby and the level of cleaning is not great. Our room seemed OK at first, but a closer look showed lots of little issues. My wife found a hairball on the carpet which overall appeared to need a shampoo. Nothing else was horrible, but little things just weren't right. One of the faucet handles was crooked. The baseboards needed repainting and the finish on the cabinet holding the towels was starting to crack. The rest of the hotel was similar: The breakfast fruit was starting to spoil. One of the entrances to the inner courtyard (where the pool is) was filthy. At least the pool was nice and clean. The price of the hotel was reasonable, but the level of upkeep is lacking. At minimum, it needs a thorough clean and maintenance. In reality, it could use a remodel.
