My stay 7-20-2025
The toilet didn't work, howe, was fixed upon first call. Spider was at home in the bathtub.

Didn't like that they advertise that they have free breakfast, but all they offer is a granola bar. This is a snack not breakfast. Also, Ice machine has been broken for quite a while now. it was broken the last time I stayed which was 2 or 3 stays ago.
