Decided to rent a last minute weekend getaway with the kids.
Most reviews were excellent, a few were not. I presumed the negatives were possibly people that always have something negative to say. The truth is that the positive ones are probably false reviews. There is no possible way someone had an excellent, clean experience a week before us.
We arrived Friday night, sheets are ancient, comforter and pillow cases stained and worn out, pill balls and itchy.
Lovely note on the counter informing us the house had been treated today for insects and rodents so we should be good. *tip to manager, after you treat for bugs at least go vacuum up the dead ones!
I go to the closet and find trash! Food crumbs and a Ritz crackers package. If a housekeeper had used the vacuum she'd have seen the garage on the floor in the closet! Broom was in the closet with AC unit, filter is NASTY. Date last logged was 2013. Yes, 2013!!
Whatever, it's just two nights. 40 hrs. I hate complaining because it's usually more of a hastle.
Alone time with spouse is a no because not only do the bedroom locks not work, the doors don't even stay closed well! The master door that leads to Jack and Jill bath doesn't lock nor does the main master bedroom door. What am I going to do, ask the manager to have someone replace the door knobs during our one day there?
Saturday we are out all day and came home to realize the dirty tub. I wash out the tub to bathe my toddler and the stupid tub DOESN'T drain! Right. Am I going to call a plumber at 9pm?!
Get everyone semi washed and go to throw in a load of wash and there is MOLD all over the inside of the washer. Not just a little bit from humidity in FL around the rim. It was fuzzy nasty mold in a fairly new washer. It was gross! I took pictures. That washer stunk!!!
That was the breaking point for me. I wasn't going to call the help line at midnight and we were checking out first thing in the morning. I had to hand wash items we needed the next day. Oh, and when I went to dry them there was enough lint to make stuffed animals. I took out what I could but so much was stuffed into the lint trap I honestly didn't feel safe using it.
King mattress was comfortable, towels were clean and nicely folded, coffee pot new and they have pots and pans. If you get a super good discount in the summer and just need a place to sleep (bring your own sheets) while you swim, this will work.
This is the worst money I've ever spent on a vacation.
