Room was super nice and clean. The staff great! I didn’t give a 5 because the fan was too noisy, upstairs noise was loud, someone had a party and we could hear music playing at night. Couldn’t sleep 🛌! I requested an upstairs room and they didn’t have any….😏

Parking etc was great. Food good. Service good. It’s stuck in the past, so has a 1990s feel, but price is so reasonable.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Door was difficult to open. Security lock did not engage the door frame. Bathroom doorknob did not open from inside the bathroom. Thank God there were 2 of us, or a person could spend the whole stay in the bathroom. Lighting was bad. The full length mirror is useless if there is no light over it. Pillows were hard. I had a sleepless night. Never stay again.

My family and I enjoy staying here. The property is well kept, friendly staff. We love the cottages as they a very accommodating for family’s with kids and pets. It’s in a very safe area. They also have bike rentals available on property with little baskets if you don’t feel like taking the car downtown. Overall I highly recommend staying here.
