Nice place with some issues

Overall nice place, just some issues we had to take care of. The tub didn’t drain, so we had to buy Drano. There was no dish towels, so we bought a couple of those. No cookie sheets, so we bought a couple foil pans. I would recommend as the location is good and we had fun!
