Overall the place was okay but the A/C was not working for the first few hours and the room got really hot. We opened the windows to get some air in and there was someone smoking right outside our windows so the cigarette smell went in the room. Once the A/C started working again the stay was fine.

A guest from Conroe, TX

Nice efficiency and location, yet some recommendations

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The a/c was not working properly during the first night of our visit due to an ancient thermostat. The t-stat was replaced. The bartender sink is too small to wash anything except silverware or a coffee cup. We would suggest adding a hot plate next to the microwave. We would recommend that future guests bring their own disposable plates and utensils.
