Disliked: Cleanliness

Very Dated

Not able to do Laundry as washer was not spinning water out of clothes and towels, we did throw in, mgmt. was notified and sent a repairman that arrived when we were leaving, and we didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone in space without being there. Our first night of arrival we removed shoes and socks and discovered that the floor was filthy, and my fiancé mopped entire floor as best as possible but without good quality mop and wringer it was impossible to achieve. The amenities were in bad shape and/or not working properly. The toaster needs to be replaced and we quit using it, we had only one sharp knife to use, a steak knife! The blinds on sliders were both in bad condition and one was missing two panels, and I jury rigged them to stay up but blind to patio area had to be manual opened. Most of the draperies are rotting and mildew stained, along with the shower curtain has mold on it. There is a dishwasher mentioned in amenities, but none present. Property description mentions 2 TV's but bedroom not there. The gas grill was dirty, and burners were rusty, needs repair or replacement, was not usable. Grill brush had no bristles. We saw a very large cockroach in kitchen by toaster. Dishes were always done and kitchen cleaned, and food put away so no reason to attract them. Sadly, property is very old and not being represented well. The bed was comfortable, and shower had warm water. The pool and sauna were very nice and quite useful.
