I booked this property months ago so i called a couple days ahead just to make sure everything was good before vacation time and the pool was out of order. Hot tub was still in working order. When i got to the property the pool and hot tub were not working and the were repainting. It dont care that they had to repaint but the fact that they are literally painting my doorframe as im walking in and out of my room is a little ridiculous. Then the office let me know a housekeeper saw my kiss holding kittens and going in my room. The kittens were my friend that was parked outside of my room visiting me. The kittens never left the parking lot. Their are cameras that can prove this but they are trying to tell me that they don't have access to their own cameras. This place is a money hungry joke, they will make things up and claim they have evidence just to charge you extra fees

The pool was not available due to construction on a holiday weekend. They offered to use the pool at a local gym as an accommodation which was not . They did not advertise that the pool wasn’t available. I walked in our room and it immediately smelled like cleaning chemicals and mildew.

Staff very pleasant.

Walls were very thin and could hear people outside room and people above could hear every time they walk. If you are a light sleeper this is not the place for you. Staff were pleasant. Breakfast was good.
