Great location. Room was clean and the person checking us in was very friendly. Had two minor issues, first they only stocked two towels even though the reservation was for four people. We then ran completely out of body wash in the shower after only three people showered. Not major issues but inconvenient as I had to make multiple trips back to the office to remedy. Other than that the stay was fine and a good value.

Cleaning smell overwhelming

Very clean and nice bedding. The only thing was that the heavy smell of cleaning products or spray was overwhelming and we had to open the windows and put a fan in one to blow out the strong smell.
