Air fresheners plugged in and those smells are offensive to so many people with allergies and those who dislike those smells. They give me a headache so I had a headache all weekend. It felt like you were trying to mask either smoking or a sewage smell.

The pool was down for some maintenance. We were contacted prior to our stay about the pool issue. I thought it was quite amazing that they would offer to refund our stay because of the pool.
