Late April 2025 I stayed a night at one of the "cottage" units with kitchenette. The unit was clean and orderly, with an adequate selection of kitchenette appliances and utensils. Interior lights were varied and gave sufficient illumination. Parking was right outside the door. The ice machine by the office worked well. I observed renovation in progress for other units. Check in was like using an ATM. OK. Overall good experience.
