Needs to improve - Cleaning, probably the product use to clean the floor is not the best, the floor was sticky and with a weird smell. - Air conditioner was noisy and dirty; needs to improve the maintenance (equipment). - The door was loose, needs to be adjusted, - Breakfast not the best, they can do better,"

Lots of open and private space for the family and pets

10/10 Excellent
"I see why others mention the neighborhood, but although there are some properties that are questionable we felt safe and the neighborhood was quiet. If you plan to cook during your stay, there are not many options for cooking pans/utensils. So bring casserole dishes, a frying pan if you prefer “non Teflon” type. There aren’t items like tin foil, plastic wrap or zip locks either. These are not complaints however, just informative for the next person. It would be nice if there were TVs in each room but we made it work. No fans in the rooms either, again just a note. Overall it was spacious and the outdoor area was nice and somewhat secluded and private. The place was clean and beds were comfortable."
