Summary: The location is great. Our room was a little run down. The bathroom door was really hard to shut because it was dragging on the floor. The fridge leaked some water. Advertised patio was just really a shared walkway for our room. Staff reached out on first day to check in which was nice but never responded when listed these issues.
