Run down property that is missing the basics. Stayed in a family suite with kitchen. No plates (just bowls), no forks (just spoons), no sling or paper towels, horrible blankets for the couch bed, cold water. Everything was old and needed to be cleaned. Paper thin walls. The only positive was location and they accept pets.

Clean and cozy

The place is definitely dated, but is cozy (many rooms have gas fireplaces), clean, and convenient. The front desk staff are polite but not always available, but that is manageable. Will definitely stay again.

The area of the property was OK as for the property itself. Our room was horrible. Dirty floorbed sink in the middle. The drapes kept falling off of the windows. If you use the microwave, it popped the breaker.
