Heidi

Disliked: Amenities
pictures were a little deceiving, we did not get what was advertised. reasonably clean but the air conditioner was too small to keep the room clean, even tiny as it was. check-in was rather confusing, instructions were to be sent via e-mail, but poor phone service prevented me getting them, so by the time we figured out where the main office was and did the check-in in person, we had wasted almost an hour. staff was super friendly and helpful though!

Anna

Liked: Staff & service
The staff responded quickly when I reached out about checking in. We got to our room shortly after 10 pm, very tired from many long hours of driving. We wanted to just go to bed as soon as possible but when we opened to fridge to put items in it, the fridge was full of smelly stuff previous guests left. The housekeeping staff also left cleaning supplies out. They responded quickly when we contacted them. Which we appreciated. Our room was on the main level. The people above us walked around quite a bit well past midnight and the floors squeaked loudly which kept us up. The same thing in the early morning hours. We were woken up by the guests above us walking around. We had a long day ahead of us with little sleep.

Internet/wifi access was poor. This made the online checkin impossible for me. The air conditioner would not turn on. (Or I wasn't smart enough to run it.) Beds were comfortable. Despite being unable to checkin online, we were able to access the room & enjoyed our night's sleep.
