- Pool Heating: Not heated in cooler months (unless above 65 degrees - this detail mentioned in listing under “Amenities” but not in main description, so we missed it).
- Furnishings: Limited seating with a stained sofa upstairs.
- Cleanliness: Beds in one bedroom had urine odor when we arrived, necessitated a wash of all bedding before use. Stuffed animals on the beds overdue for cleaning. Stained carpets.
- Maintenance Issues: holes in bathroom wall, slow running drain, refrigerator water filter due for refresh, and additional fixtures like sliding door handles in disrepair.
Overall Impression:
The property's convenient location and luxury amenities were overshadowed by maintenance and cleanliness shortcomings, leaving us less than completely satisfied.
