Disliked: Cleanliness
Elevator did not work. Pool was not usable, even paid for a third party to identify the problem (filter did not work, overflow would not turn off, too cloudy and stinky to risk the children swimming), No attempt was made to fix the pool. Turn over was obviously within a couple of hours as floors and bathrooms were not cleaned. We purchased cleaning supplies including chemicals, broom and mop to clean it ourselves. Trash cans were overflowing outside upon arrival and had no where to put trash for 3 days. Hot water heater to main and first floor did not work and was replaced during our stay on day 3. We were told owners had just left so we were not sure how much to blame management and how much was purely the owner not wanting to spend money to make necessary repairs. We have asked for compensation, but its been weeks and no one has responded. Location was great, size of house was what we needed, parking was sufficient, but overall not worth the price we paid.
