The room was good and I would stay there again. Unfortunately the restaurant attached to this property was closed. I had a small dog and it was hard to find walking spots because it was next to the highway.

The room wasn't big but was spotless with an extremely comfortable bed. One of the best beds on our trip! It had a microwave & fridge but was missing a coffee maker which was a big negative. Restaurant on property was closed which was a huge disappointment & let-down.. Luckily there was an upscale grocer next door where we bought takeout for dinner & Tim Hortens 2km away for coffee. I would definitely recommend this place but check FIRST to see if the restaurant is open!

No . Bathroom tap in sink difficult to get hot water. One of the light shades in room missing. Curtain rod hanging off on one side. Only chair in room stained. My room was located in area of the property away from the main building and with no outside light, so safety was an issue. The room appeared clean.
