“This Ruskin property initially impressed me due to its popularity, however, reports of bed bugs and unresolved refund requests raise concerns that potential guests should consider. While the promise of a King Suite with Balcony holds appeal, the described experience suggests a need for thorough inspection. My assessment leans toward caution until these issues are addressed.”
