The property has great views and location. The initial impression is it needs a good overall clean and refresh. There was very limited toilet paper and only 3 segments of paper towel left on roll. The vacuum cleaner is left in the dining area and is fullbl of dirt and dust. Only 1 x bath towel for 3 nights. The information folder is old, riped and needs replacing.
