8/10 Good
"Property is okay but needs to be cleaned a little better. Needs some updating also. Two of us checked in for a 3 night stay. We were given 1 washcloth. Had to ask for more. We had a small kitchenette with a sink, stovetop, and frig. No dish soap or dish clothes or dish towels. They left a roll of paper towels with 2 paper towels left on it. Big help. We had to ask for more wash clothes and hand towels the 2nd morning of our stay. Never got them. Picked them up ourselves after 5pm when we returned from the day. Had a very nice balcony to look over the bay. The dried dead bugs on the railing were disgusting. Really took away from the enjoyment of having a balcony. All windows covered with cobwebs on the outside which were disgusting in the sunlight. There were cobwebs in the suite also on smoke alarms and on ceilings. Couch in living area was like sitting on a brick. There were clothes left in the closet area from a previous guest. Housekeeping falling down on the job. Shower is just a closet area with no curtain or door. Very cold no matter how hot the water is because of the air coming in the opening. Also splashed water out onto the bathmat."
