Place was lovely. Quiet area. Poor experience with room…cleaning person in room above us dumped water and it came through ceiling onto us unexpectedly while we were in the bathroom and had bleach in it. Didn’t make any sense that much water could come through with a cleaning. No one apologized or checked on us from mgmt
