We booked for handicap access the toilet was way to short to be ADA compliant I had to physically lift my husband off of it! Air flow to the bed sleeping area was horrible maybe a small ceiling fan in that area would help. Balcony was covered in cobwebs and live spiders. Room was very clean just a few little adjustments would help

Had an issue in the room they couldn’t fix and did not compensate, offer a different room, then said there was no report of an issue when I have all the screen shots of my communication with them. Terrible service. Will never stay here again.
