It was in a good location for everything we wanted to do. It was comfortable and relaxing! Plenty of room! Would definitely rent again. The whole are very nice and accommodating. The only thing that would’ve made it a little bit easier for us is if we could’ve checked in a little bit earlier, I can understand not 23 hours earlier but you know if you got there between three and four with chicken Thomas 4 o’clock that it would’ve been OK to have the information and be able to check in at that time and not have to wait.
