Acceptable Stay with Room Issues
convenient location walking distance outdoor patio mold issue chlorine smell dirty hot tub
The location was really convenient. I found many attractions were within walking distance. The outdoor patio restaurant provided a nice dining option (I liked sitting outside).
The bathroom had mold. I also found hair in the shower upon arrival. I tried the hot tub, but the strong chlorine smell made it unbearable. I had to immediately shower after leaving the area.

FANTASTIC Stay!!
huge bathroom convenient location rain shower
My room had a HUGE bathroom. The handheld shower wand did NOT work, but the rain shower worked perfectly! The location is convenient. You can walk almost anywhere.
The deadbolt on the door didn't function, only a minor concern.
