Great place to stay for a great price! If you’re looking for a place to crash while you do the surrounding tourist attractions, this is a good place to do it!

Unfortunately you get what you pay for. Room was ok bed was dirty and stained sheets were stained all over and itchy i broke out in a rash. Went to take a shower and uppn turning the water on it smelled of a rotten food and really musty blehh but worst of when i got out of the shower all my jewlery had turned copper brown. I know water and they absolutely have iron, magnesium, sulfar & black water in their system. Told management and he said they hadnt rented out that side of the rooms yet and offered no apology or any type of refund. Will absolutely never stay here again. Cant even see the water (brook) like description says. Very sad. Stay in town pay the extra money for a clean room and non smelly water.
