Horrible stay

The stay was horrible very sorry feeling. The ADU room that they booked as a “suite” was very small. The tub had a broken drain and it didn’t work we had to take showers only. Also the sink outside of the bath because it was and disabled set up room sprayed water everywhere when turned in. Obviously the the metal filter was not installed as it looked to be somewhat new … water aggressively sprayed out everywhere … there were hi alas in bikes constantly in parking lot going in and out of creek area where they were obviously living…

Electric went out. Staffs are very friendly and hospitality. If electric didn’t went out and if breakfast was served, would give five stars.
