They put us in the worst room on the property the tv faced the window and not the couch or bed. The light didn’t work by the door and the fridge/cooler didn’t work. The shower had no water pressure that they fixed the next day, but we still couldn’t take a shower after our arrival. The staff was nice.

a wonderful place. so clean and excellent service. my only complaint is you can hear and feel the doors opening and closing from the other rooms on the same floor. so when sleeping I would be woken up by the doors slamming or the bed would rattle from the others doors slamming. not sure if maybe the doors can be adjusted to not slam when they close? or have a soft close? other than that i have no complaints it was an amazing stay.
