The rental top floor very nice and clean. The other floors however not to clean and looked run down. Beds were not comfortable, couches needed cleaning found food in between cushions. Bathroom toilets had issues when flushing. All hand soap containers were watered down and very little amount in them. This unit has potential just needs more attention to small detail's. Again top floor was exceptional but the other 2 floors was an after thought. ##### Patricia Y.

The location is great, I will say the condo itself is a little dated and could definitely use some renovations to modernize. Be prepared to hear everyone above you and below and next door as the walls are seemingly thin. No other complaints, despite the age of the condos I would still recommend. ##### Brian D.

It is a little out dated, but that was also part of the reason for picking this place as it is not as fancy as others in the complex. The carpets are dingy and a couple of chairs were broken (stool at the upstairs bar and patio chair outside) but those things did not deter us from having a pleasant stay. The location is great with awesome views. Easily accessible for hiking, close to the river and walking distance to local tourist areas on the main drag. The pool at the condo was a huge bonus. ##### Douglas S.

So close to downtown and shopping. It is a very steep drive and the parking is as well so be prepared for that. The game room was an added bonus. The only suggestions I would make is to update the furniture. The couches were not comfortable at all and table looks like it has been fixed for the last time. We would absolutely stay again! ##### Rudy G. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022
