Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place was unmaintained for a couple of years owner comes back and tries to spruce it up in 3 weeks but didn’t work. I want a refund cause we stayed one night out of 4 and it was a terrible sleepless night, there were loose roofs clanging around. The place is worth $50 a night.
