"This was our 3rd visit in 3 years and we were kind of disappointed with our stay. There was exposed tack strip in our room that went from our bedroom to tile floor. Not safe for anyone. There were dirty dishes in the cupboard and a dirty spatula in a drawer. (dried food from someone else) The refrigerator ran for most of the night (very annoying) The ice cream in the freezer slightly melted, but we loved the staff and the location is awesome. "
