Needs an update on the linens and blankets. Not much of a view either. Washer and dryer and fridge work fine. Bathroom needs hooks and towel bars and maybe a new tub surround. The wiring is also a little sketchy as it is extension cords running on the outside of the walls. Should be a bit more upscale and remodeled for the price. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 3 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The "Big House" with..
