House and Garden decor it is not, but for value it really very good. The property is well maintained, super clean (incl walls, carpets and furnishings) and great value. It does the basics fabulously- great location, privacy and security and has wifi and parking. Communication from the office was great; it was a very stress free good value stay. You won't drown in luxurious decor but what is there is not broken dingy or dirty, and my only personal irritation was the low watt bulbs.
