1. After three rooms that smelled only worse than the first with a very strong room-freshener smell, we finally landed on a room that was nearly fragrance-free.

5. The same is true of the cottages - a huge disappointment, stuffy & old feeling - yes, the bathrooms have been renovated & looked clean & white, but we saw three cottages, as we were very disappointed upon checking in to the first cottage, and eventually realized that all of the cottages were similar in that the original walls & ceilings have been left in tact causing a stuffy smell & small windows which provided little light.
