The manager is nice and qas helpful but there are problems with the property that should be taken care of. The 2nd patio door is sitting on the deck leaving the screen door unlockable. We always lock our door at night for sleeping so this was an uncomfortable feeling. The coffee milk in the fridge was sour. The bedding was clean but wrinked as if it had sat in a dryer for hours.

Great location, clean and tidy room with everything you need! The presentation of the property wasn’t as pictured with litter and items that make the site less appealing. But still a very comfortable stay at a great rate. We would definitely return!
