Hi Melissa,
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the great location of our property. We sincerely apologize that the cleanliness of the kitchen area did not meet expectations—this is not the standard we strive for. Leftover food and unclean appliances (oven, grill, and air fryer) are unacceptable, and we have addressed this with our cleaning team to ensure thorough inspections moving forward. We’ve also taken pest control measures to prevent any further issues. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much better experience in the future.
Best Regards,
