"This property was nice, clean and in a convenient location. My one issue is the barn door on the bathroom in the room. There was a gap on both sides that you could see through, it didn't have a lock or close properly. If you care about bathroom privacy during your stay, I would look elsewhere. If it's not an issue for you, this is a great place to stay!"
