Lauren

Disliked: Cleanliness
We chose this property for its location but quickly became disappointed when it took 30 minutes for someone to answer the door to check us in. The WiFi did not work (unable to use Netflix) and there was barely any cell reception. The beds in the room we stayed in need upgrading (coil springs). Difficult to sleep due to quality of beds. Pillows/beds and towels need upgrading. Other issues as well need addressing like broken toilet seat. The host was friendly but upgrades and maintenance are require at least for the room we stayed in. The breakfast in the morning was appreciated.
