Disliked: Communication
The entire reason I rented that place was for the hot tub. The jets wouldn’t work and the water level was below the filter. I would have found somewhere else to stay if I knew it was gonna be like that ridiculous. The cabin and spot was amazing but the tub not working really sucked!
