The pool was a nice amenity and the size of our unit worked well. Unfortunately, this unit needs some major updates. The kitchen, bathroom and carpeting all need to be updated. It was all in pretty worn state. The Internet did not work while we were there and the unit did smell musty. There was a small balcony that was nice to let in fresh air. ##### DEANNA T. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gillian h. 13 Aug 2025 Disliked: Check-in, communication No WiFi or internet.
