Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Property is set to 80 degrees between stays and the house is so hot and take over 12 hours for the home to cool off. We checked in at 1pm and paid extra to check in early and by 10pm at night it was well over 75 degrees in the bedrooms and 79 in the living area. The host was terrible to communicate with. Sent someone over and told us the vents was blowing cold air so we should be fine. The house is next to a giant drug home and you can’t see that in pictures. Very sketchy area. Would never stay in one of their properties again. Host don’t want todo anything to even try to fix the issue. I was to the point of going to pay for a hotel to stay for the night as we were all so uncomfortable. Attached photos are the home next to the trailer you would be renting. It’s a tiny mobile home

Dear Tayler, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your stay at Urban Aquarium did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the discomfort you experienced with the home's temperature after your early check-in. We understand how important it is for guests to arrive to a comfortable home, especially during the Texas summer. While our team responded and verified that the air conditioning system was operating properly, we recognize that cooling a home after it has been vacant can take longer than expected, and we're reviewing our procedures to help improve the arrival experience for future guests. We're also sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the surrounding neighborhood and that our communication did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide prompt, courteous service and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve. Thank you again for your comments. We value all guest feedback and remain committed to providing a better experience for future visitors. The Grand Welcome Galveston Team
