"Roaches, room light works only with spinning fan, an electric wires sticking from the walls, outlets without covers. Extension cables all over. A barking dog in a 6x12ft place, barning next to window. Coffee wihout caps, but with cap covers. AC works, but noisy. Shower head shooting water outside the shower stall, requires a 45 deg knee to operate or a shower curtain. Microwave works. Checking in confused, four rooms and a lot of calls to get it settled. Handyman special."

"Property is advertised as entire home, it is a room within a home that is still being renovated and there are people coming and going at all hours. There is a code for the door that wasn’t provided until after I inquired while I was at the property. The room had not been cleaned and another was offered but someone else was already staying there. The shower in the room looks nice in pictures but when you turn the water on it pours outside the shower stall on to the floor of the room. The bed was...

"There were plenty of rooms for everyone which was amazing to come with a large group. We used it as a 5 bedroom. The 2 bathrooms are great too. There could have been more seating in the living room and maybe small lamps in the bedrooms. The hosts were helpful and they respond quickly. The neighborhood is safe and close to many convenient places like grocery store, dollar tree, CVS. There is also a lot of options for food close by. Highway is close and the house location was only 20 minutes...

10/10 Excellent

Excellent customer service. Very clean throughout the hotel and inside room and bathroom. Room and bathroom is spacious. Tub shower is excellent. Water pressure is super. The family loved the Pool and hot tub area. Also outdoor area is available and there’s an outdoor bar that opens in the evening. Breakfast in the morning was delicious with waffles, pancakes, eggs, a protein and potatoes. Can also request for kitchen staff to make an omelet if you prefer. Will definitely recommend this hotel.
