Child at the desk did not know where our room was, just shrugged. Said she was in high school so wasn’t familiar with the property or surrounding area. Wasn’t concerned with her lack of competency.

I reserved 2 nights through Expedia. However when I went to pay 3 days before the visit, the price for the 2nd night had doubled! And though the fridge in the room was promised, it was broken. We were not happy!

The outdoor garden was so beautiful, the room was spacious. Did not like the walkway to the store it was sketchy, the outdoor lights were turned off at a certain time which made it very dark outside, we had to use our phone light to light the pathway.
