"Everything was very nice. The only thing that was a little uncomfortable were the heights of two beds in the one room were difficult to get in and out of. Suggest raising to a standard height. Once in the bed it was comfortable."

"Would be 5 stars if it wasn’t for the 50 dollar a day pet fee, when the property wasn’t cleaned every day. There was an extra fee if you wanted them to clean. I can understand a pet fee every day if you cleaned every day. But that is not the case."
