"I had such a great stay. Unfortunately the iron in the room was stained black and it ruined my white shorts, but the manger went above and beyond to remedy the situation and I was very grateful. Would definitely stay there again, because of how well they treated me after the fact and mistake. Thanks you 🙏😊"
