This was one of the worst maintained facilities we have stayed at. Door latch was broken, and desk, walls and doors were pretty beat up. The room was a good size and bed and couch were comfortable, but stove top did not look safe and old minifridge was still there even though new one was in the room.

Good location, lack of quality

Location was great, close to everything we needed. Hotel conditions were not so great, place needs lots of small repairs, bedroom lights were not working, and room did not offer basics such as an iron and hair conditioner. Service was not the best as attendant had difficulty understanding clients.

Quaint cottage vibes

The hotel itself is a little dated and has that old sanitorium like feel when you are inside but the price, location, and professionalism of the staff well made up for what the place lacked in “charm”. There are wild blackberry bushes right outside the front doors and a garden growing just off the back side. The room itself was incredibly large and way more than expected for a solo traveler on business. Everyone I encountered on the property was super friendly and helpful in navigating around the town. Food options were bountiful as you are close to the sub base and downtown area, ease of access to everything was an added bonus as well.
