mixed feelings about this stay

easy locationdated bathroomnon-functioning television

the location was acceptable, and i found it fairly easy to get around.

The room i was given felt far from luxurious. the bathroom was dated, and i spotted mold on the shower pipe. I am not sure when it was last cleaned. It certainly wasn't recent. Plus, the television didn't work, we loved the pool. but the view was amazing!

The staff was friendly and helpful.

The bathroom had MOLD on the shower pipe, a DISGUSTING discovery. The blinds were dusty, and the floor was not clean either. I felt ripped off by the additional charge for a deep clean, as it was not deep cleaned.
