Excellent condition of our room. I would flip the new shower doors (room 130) as it’s a small place next to the toilet to walk in. And all showers need grab bars. Beds are comfortable, extra blankets. Tv is huge. Would recommend.

Nice property grounds, dog park. Rooms are nice, carpets smelled a bit mildewed. But they were shampooing rooms, and the coast is damp, so it is probably common. Room felt clean otherwise. I like a chair in the room so I don’t have to always sit on the bed. They had a nice and comfy recliner.

Property was nice. I liked the grand suite with the kitchen. However, the TV did not work, and I was not able to figure out how to turn the heater on
