Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily D. 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our stay was very nice over all with only minor areas of improvement, but not enough to do any stars. Communication was great. General cleanliness was great. Location was awesome. Dog friendly for our service dogs and one in training was phenomenal. Only suggestions I would make are having cleaning supplies available on site. We didn't have any dish soap in the kitchen or all purpose cleaner to wipe counters with. We did have a dish washer and cleaning pods, but sometimes dish soap was needed. The place was very clean and well kept. Matresses were on the soft side but the pillows were great! The bathrooms were clean but could have been a little better. Overall, we would stay here again in a heart beat! I highly recommend and love the location. ##### Emily D.
