"Good property. Additional fee to check-in 2 hours early was a first & irritating. Website should better describe 2nd full bath and laundry in lower level. Tough climb for older folks."
- James
Host Response:
"Thank you for your feedback, James! We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our standard early check-in fee and appreciate the comments regarding the description of the lower level bath and laundry amenities. We will work to improve the listing description to ensure greater clarity as guest safety and comfort are always a top priority. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!"
"Wonderful property. This was our second stay with Minnestay and we'll continue to stay at their properties."
