The room was clean just a basic room we were happy with it. We only stayed 1 night. The front desk person was very nice and helpful. She let us know if we were going to eat out to do so before 8pm as everything closes by then.

This is a very nice place to stay. Large rooms and very quiet. The only slight problem is that the shower doesn't have a shower curtain and there is no soap holder.

I liked the quiet, secure, private, clean, relaxing, I didn't like the fact that there was no kitchen sink, which is why I didn't do any dishes, I refused to wash them in the bathroom. Apart from that, I enjoyed my stay

We spent 1 night at this property. If you overlook some small things like a broken sink, floors that are taped down and broken furniture , you’ll be just fine. It’s clean, friendly and close to the things we wanted to do. Not bad, just needs a little upkeep and maintenance. I would stay here again.
