Overall, the property was beautiful. However, we had an issue with black beetles in our restroom. I notified the front desk after killing three of them myself and all they did was spray a menthol cleaning agent around the tub. In the morning, I woke up to five or six of them under the bathmat. This ruined room as I am deadly terrified of bugs. At checkout, I did let them know about this and they comped my parking which I feel was an understatement considering what an inconvenience it was to smash black bugs all night. Sad to say that I was not very comfortable.

I would remove the wood piece in the shower, it had mold on it and I have a mold allergy.
