Only minor issues were the sliding door didn’t lock, the new barn door for the bathroom had a huge gap at the top, and they called us at right at check out time to make sure we were ready to check out which was something that we’ve never experienced in our stays all over.

The bathroom had a handicap toilet seat bulky which took up a lot of space. There was old food in the refrigerator.
Staff is always friendly and we always stay several times a year.
