This is a great value for the price but not quite an "elegant cottage" per the description. The Meh: There were a couple of cleanliness issues (orange stain on the curtain and sour towels). The carpet is also not super-inviting...but what "hotel" carpet is. The Good-to-Know: Charles has a lot of happy friends and family and the walls are thin...so this will be reflected in the noise level at times. The Good: The AC is loud and provides good white noise for those noisy nights; it's also very cold and refreshing. The water pressure in the shower is great like other reviewers have said. There are no critters (whew!) and we felt safe in the neighborhood. Finally, Charles gave my husband and I a bottle of champagne on our last night (I think for dealing with the noise issues).
