Sad face IconDisliked: Amenities
The location was pretty handy and the pricing was OK for a last minute one night stay, but this place is showing a lot of wear and tear. We had a 2 bedroom, with 2 adults and 2 children. The space was a reasonable size but the King bed was almost un-sleepable - VERY hard. There was a pretty strong musty smell throughout, I suspect leaking in the bathroom and fan didnt seem to work. Also, amenities not quite as advertised - the TV was missing any pay channels promised. At least it was just one night.
