The tiny house had what was advertised.. a small cozy place. We stayed in container 3 and loved our first experience in a tiny container home. BBQ grill and outdoor vibes were amazing.

FairBridge Inn & Suites Dupont
Staff had excellent customer service. The housekeepers were always willing to help get extra towels or toiletries if needed without fuss or attitude. Breakfast was great. My only complaint would be that the pool heater was broken the 5 days we stayed. We did lose our deposit due to unfortunate circumstances ...
