#### No Parking

While the unit was clean and well appointed, we were quite disappointed by the parking situation. The parking lots are torn up, and a bridge was out, forcing us to park approx 175 yards away and walk to the unit while dragging all of your luggage through muddy construction zone in the drizzling rain, only then to be presented the challenge of not dragging all of the mud into the unit. Had the parking disgrace been disclosed in advance, we would have booked elsewhere. Coming off of a fresh ACL and meniscus tears, the last things that I needed were 175 yard back and forth walks from the car in a construction site and another 200 yards dragging trash to the dumpsters…on top of the cleaning fee. The Invisacook cooktop was a nice ammenity.
