Please understand the staff was incredibly nice, but the unit was very poor. I think it hadn't been used in many many months. There was mold growing in the master bathroom ceiling vent and master bedroom vent. The baseboards were dirty and needed, scrubbing, and cleaning. There were several areas of paint peeling and chipping. The kitchen counter appliances were old and dirty. The bath towels were brand new never been washed so lots and lots of lint. It's a great location. I think our room was just a lemon. I was very disappointed. I asked for another room, but of course it was spring break so there was nothing available. We will definitely not go back and I would appreciate some of my money back. Thank you.

This is not the standard we strive to provide, and we completely understand your disappointment. We also appreciate your kind words about our staff, though we regret that we were unable to relocate you due to availability during the busy spring break period. Your concerns regarding cleanliness, maintenance issues, and overall condition of the unit are being taken very seriously. We will be immediately sharing your comments with our housekeeping and maintenance teams so the property can be thoroughly inspected and addressed. Weโ€™re truly sorry this impacted your stay and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
