Our stay was too short.....

Pros:

The tiny house I stayed in was spotlessly clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. It had probably the thickest and fluffiest towels I have ever seen at a hotel! Host Naomi is very kind and helpful. I stayed only one night, but with the great kitchen facilities, this would be a great place to stay for a longer vacation. Other reviews mention road noise, and you can hear it a little bit, but I didn't find it bad by any means.

Klima - Hölle
Pros:

Nettes Motel am Highway. Vieles ist frisch eingerichtet und durchdacht, leider völlig am Gast vorbei.

Cons:

Die Klimaanlage darf nicht abgeschaltet werden, dadurch hat man Instanz konstant Zug am Bett und wir sind nun beide erkältet. Vielen Dank fürs Ruinieren meines übrigen Urlaubes.
Der Duschkopf ist nicht abnehmbar, der Wasserdruck ist extrem niedrig, selbst für amerikanische Verhältnisse. Wenn gleichzeitig die Spülung betätigt wird kriegt man nicht mal mehr das Shampoo aus den Haaren. Tausende Schalter, die meisten funktionieren, aber sehr unübersichtlich und unnötig.
Betten eher unbequem.
Haben leider kurzfristig ein Downgrade bekommen, Queen statt King Bett und Zimmer direkt am Highway. Jedes Auto fährt gefühlt durch das Bett.
Zusätzlich zur Klimaanlage gibt es einen Air Exchange der wohl Luft wieder raus befördert, der periodisch anspringt und sehr laut ist. Kühlschrank ist ebenfalls sehr laut.
Es ist nachts sehr hell im Zimmer, viele kleine Lichter, vor allem die Klimaanlage ist sehr hell.
Das Wohnzimmer wo meine Frau schlafen muss kann man nicht vollständig verdunkeln.
Als wir schlafen gingen und das Problem bemerken war der Gastgeber nicht erreichbar.
Alles zusammen die schlechteste Unterkunft die ich je auf diesem Kontinent hatte und die erste die ich so schlecht bewerte. Man sollte sie nur buchen, wenn einem beim schlafen Licht, Geräusche und Luft der Klimaanlage überhaupt nicht stören. Booking Kundenservice ist eingeschaltet.
