Everything was great about our stay except the sofa bed had trash and the mattress was stained. Maintenance came to check it out and tried finding an extra mattress to switch it out but they were unable to. The property ended up making some price changes due to the inconvenience. The room was nice and great for the days we needed it. Complimentary breakfast was offered and the location was fantastic!

Laundry room was not working, and apparently had not been working for a long time. Screen door to private balcony area was intentionally cut/torn near the lock/handle (showed evidence of a previous break-in attempt). Other than that, our stay was pleasant.
