"This place is definitely nice place to my knowledge. They need a fan to suck vapor out of the bathroom on all bathrooms in each bedroom. I believe we stayed at one that could be in wheelchair to be able to access shower 🚿 better since shower needs a glass door if it's not for disability accessibly purposes. Parking, I believe it can be done as people who stays downstairs park on the back of the property and people who stays upstairs park in the front of the property since takes longer to come...
