Disliked: Cleanliness
We booked online for 2 adults and a small dog. When we arrived, we were informed that it was an extra $20 for the cleaning of the unit with "special products" after we left the unit. Fair enough, we thought. However, the cleanliness of the room was substandard and if it had been cleaned with these "special products", it certainly was not cleaned before we rented the unit. The toilet had not been cleaned, the benches were sticky and grimy, and the floor when I wiped it after I spilt water on it was putrid. We were not impressed. Would not recommend anyone to stay here.

Loved the unit. quiet except from noise from a few kids in the morning. Parking is a night mare though. Very hard to park if you have a big car. Other that that was excellent, will be going back again.
