Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was decent. Pool appeared clean. There was coin laundry for guests. Unfortunately the room was dirty- sheets with stains and towels appeared dirty as well. The faucet to the tub shot off the wall during my shower due to being improperly installed thereby leaving the shower unusable. Issues brought up to management and no maintenance available and no alternative room available for the night. Overall, cannot recommend this property at this time.
