Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not very clean. Dirt behind the door on the floor. Dirt by the air conditioner/heater. An M&m piece on the top blanket (I don't have any m&m's). I reserved a room with a queen bed because it had a bathtub, however the plug for the bathtub was missing and I had to use a plastic bag to hold the water in. The host was very nice though, and when I locked myself out of my room almost instantly, she was very helpful. No refrigerator or microwave in room.

Not a great place to stay
I will start by saying the staff was super friendly and helpful. Everything else was terrible. The property was run down and not in good condition. The night we stayed the hot water system went out for the whole property, so no showers for anyone. Temp outside was in the 30's, so cold shower not really an option. Check out was at 11am, but our room keys quite working at 9am, so while loading the car someone had to hold the foor open constantly. Just not a great place to stay. Again, the staff was very nice, issues with the hotel were not their fault.
