4/10
Things got off to a bad start. First, door code was wrong. Other reviews mention this. There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for this.
This unit makes a good impression on entering
However, one soon senses that this unit is not being maintained and that everything is being done on the cheap
Next: 2 out of 3 TV remotes were being held together with duct tape. Really? The third one only partially worked. Texted owners asking for new remotes. Their first suggestion was to operate the TVs with the controls on the side. Really? After some discussion they did deliver new universal remotes the next day
The unit was renovated maybe 10? years ago. But maintenance seems lacking
The good:
A/C & fridge work well
Good water pressure & hot water
Nice vinyl flooring
Mattresses were comfortable ( but not the cheapo polyester sheets * )
* Owner agreed to pay for cotton sheets which we bought at Walmart.
The unnecessarily bad:
One hair dryer was broken
Owner relies on hotel internet which ranges from fair to poor
Fix: Owner should pay $50/month for dedicated internet
Balcony door lock is broken off; have to twist with fingers
Balcony door does not operate easily
Bath towels are worn out and rough
No clothes hooks in bathroom
No toilet paper holder in left bathroom. There used to be one but it was never repaired
Mold in shower knob
Broken lamp switch in floor lamp
Most light bulbs are low wattage and dim. Sconce light missing bulb
Dirty windows
- All of these obvious minor issues could be easily addressed for little money
Unnecessary kitchen issues:
Dishwasher rack is missing a wheel which makes it difficult to slide in and out
No blender, no dish towels (soap and sponge supplied)
Only one fork in the drawer. (After texting, the owner provided half metal/plastic set of utensils)
Coffee maker is not the one shown in the pictures. Had to jury rig old drip coffee maker and use sauce pan for carafe
No pitcher for ice tea etc
Other issues:
Constant helicopter flights over the hotel
Walls are thin; can hear all
Final opinions:
A guest is left with the opinion that this owner is only interested in the income and NOT in providing a high quality experience for longer term guests.
Unit might be acceptable if visitor plans to stay one or two nights and not spend much time in the room and eat out.
It is not suitable for long term stays. Does not meet standards of other VRBO properties that we have rented
