"The stay was good. I would stay here again. Would recommend an additional accent chair or two and shades or blackout blinds. Was uncertain about parking, so we reserved a place in the lot. Reservation process is quite cumbersome. Lots of VRBO emails and codes to keep track of. Check in/out process was a bit confusing. Fortunately the front desk was very patient and helped us out without any issues. Two bottles of water for four people was not enough and no ice."
