Disliked: Room comfort
Not as advertised. Roof leaks and no water
Not as advertised! The roof leaked so much the entire bedroom got flooded! All our stuff got soaked. At some points there was NO WATER (This outside of when the electricity didn't work). It was also very noisy as the tree kept slamming the tin roof at night.
Depending on your preference the mattresses are all quite hard.
The wifi didn't work even though it said connected.
