Grateful
Was pleased overall.
Some lights and fan didn’t work in the master bedroom. There was no good way to rinse off after coming off the brash. But we’d certainly stay there again.

Smoke smell
Extremely pungent smell of smoke, had to call emergency maintenance and they just brought some air purifiers. It still strongly smelled throughout the week and we ended up making other accommodations for some of our family. Overall, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
