Downtown

This was the most expensive house in this area so I expected way more from This property. We have stayed in 4 in this area and this was by far the worst. Key pad didn’t work most of the time, way out dated, roaches, no soap, no special touches, sketchy neighbors, the sofas were gross. We had to wash some sheets and put them on them to sit down, back yard had glass all in it and was grown up. Was asked to pretty much clean the whole place for check out. Would never stay here again.

Columbus Stay

Upon arrival to the property, we noticed the chairs, table and porch were filthy. You would have had to clean them to use them. The pictures do not depict the true state of the property. The property needs a lot of work. Floors are uneven, doors are cocked and needs some touch up painting. When you spend what we spent for 3 nights you just expect more. We didn’t spend one night in the property and all they would give me was half of my clean up fee. I asked what was there to clean if we didn’t stay on it. I was pretty much told that’s what was decided and they were sticking with that decision. If you don’t care about sub par standards then this is the place for you. I recommended this property be taken off the list. Definitely not worth the money.
