Great Property, Horrible Customer Service

The check-in process was long, tedious, and poorly thought out The owner asked me to fill out verification and check-in forms that I had already completed Property is beautiful, though! And so convenient to shopping and delicious food

Ballston Place

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was within walking distance. I do have a few complaints. I was told that there would be enough towels for the number of my guest which was incorrect. I only had one face towel which required me to purchase additional towels. The cooking utensils were dirty and had to be washed before use. The skillet was very small requiring me to go out and purchase a larger one, also because of the non stick coating and the pans being old I would find flecks of the coating in my food.
