We had a pleasant stay.

Great value for the money, room was okay not great not poor. Clean and modern bathroom, mattress a little tired, deck outside window rotten to the point of falling down, but you could not get out there so no big deal. We had a pleasant stay.

Everything for our stay was absolutely great. The only reason I gave a 4 star for customer service was bc it was a little standoff-ish at first until they got to talking to us after a bit. Wasn’t sure right away how our stay was going to be perceived. Other than that everyone was kind and helpful
