PROS:
• the room was great. as described, incredibly large, and very clean
• full kitchen with actual mini refrigerator (not just a cooler), sink, cabinets, cutlery, and stovetop
CONS:
• For my personal preference, the process was a bit too lengthy to check in and after a really rough day at work all I wanted to do was get into our room and take a shower.
• Upon meeting my host, who was helping someone else check in at the same time, I was met with a print-out upon my arrival and asked to please step to the side and read
• it was a full page of things that were “NOT included” in our rental that the hotel property offers.
• Included on this list is absolutely no option for early check in or late departure, which is something I value highly during my vacations.
• I feel these could have easily been posted in the listing, whether in a photo of the property, or mentioned at the time of booking request. I would have liked the opportunity to reconsider my stay in this unit based on these stipulations, had I received this list before traveling and arriving at the property.
• At the point of receipt, I had no choice or alternative, which carries a bitter feeling.
• the hotel was not offering room service during our stay which was also something we were looking forward to at this property. (I messaged the host ahead of time to ask if the pool and all amenities at the hotel were in service and I was told yes. The pool/poolside bar turned out to be one of the only amenities available to use as private unit renters, but the forecast for the entire length of our stay was rain so we didn’t get to use even that.)
