Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was a short walking distance to eating places and shopping area. Cottage room was cozy, quiet and enough space for what we needed. For our cottage, the air conditioning system worked and kept the room cool. However, when in AC mode, the AC unit would be loud. It was expected fan noise when using fan mode. The noise was OK during the day as we were out most of the day. However, it was too loud for sleep purposes. Would suggest replacing the AC unit (cottage #23). Also, the TV worked but navigating the cable channels was not clear. Would suggest providing instructions as to what is available and how to navigate the channels. Again, we were out most the day, so it was not a big issue.

I really don’t understand why this is rated at a 8.2 . The room smelled musty ,no WiFi that actually worked ,the pillows /bed so uncomfortable! Oh and the sheets didn’t even fit the bed properly! Office so tiny ! I guess if your a last minute type people like us it works … I personally wouldn’t stay here again though !

The room was clean, had a lot of space, mini fridge, table and chairs. I had a second floor room, there were chairs and a table outside for use.

The room was clean. Staff were friendly. The only complaint would be the party going on in the parking lot. Although it was not loud, it was unnerving having to go through the party to get to our room. I would recommend staying here.
