Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Pros: Fantastic location!!! You seriously cannot beat the location and the view. We also really liked the restaurant attached to the hotel. Cons: We unfortunately had a mouse in our room. Once we notified staff, they were not able to move us to a different room and instead stuffed towels in the entrances of where the mouse would come in. We still had multiple nights of stay after finding the mouse. They did offer one of our nights to be free, however I don’t think they ever refunded us the one night. There was a lot of mouse poop in our room by the end of our stay. We tried to keep good spirits and not let it ruin our vacation but I was afraid to step anywhere and had to put all of our things up high. I was happy to leave, unfortunately. We stayed on the top floor, where you wouldn’t think mice would be. But I think mice are relatively common and are probably in every building around this area. I did wake up many times worrying the mouse was in my bed though.
