Apple Farm

8/10 Good

"Note to Management you really need to get the television figured out better. It takes too long to figure out what’s on TV and you need some better channel options. Your hotel rooms are so beautiful people they wanna hang out and relax in the hotel and watch a good movie but you’re television system doesn’t really make that possible just invest in some Netflix accounts"

Very clean, air conditioning was a plus , had everything we needed even coffee for the morning. Also in a quiet neighborhood which we appreciated.
