Horrible experience. Doors looked like they had been knocked down by the police or some violent experience. Bathroom door in one of our rentals was basically broken in half and then repaired with bondo. And at a cost of $225 per night, total rip off.

Horrible service we were told we would have a fridge and a microwave and that was not true, when I called the office to try to cancel or ask why, there was no valid reason I will not stay here again,horrible rip offs.
