No pool. And we didn’t stay. There was a horrible smell in the room. Like sewer gas. Burned our throats it was so bad. Was only in the room for 3 minutes.

The heat didn’t work. It was 44 degrees. No hot water . No one checked on the property for 2 days to see if it was inhabitable. This ruined our New Year’s Eve plans. There were hidden costs. The only good thing was the woman helping me was very kind. Check in was 4 and check out was 10 am! Of you wanted extra time you were charged. Charged for parking and charged a fee in case of any damages that you had to pay or couldn’t get the door code.
