Everyone was sweet. Its a very "mom and pop" feel to the place. My only complaint is that the beds were VERY hard. My partner can sleep anywhere and was unbothered but i woke up about every hour stiff. The recliner makes a fantastic alternative to bed though

The bathroom lights were non functional and there was no remote for the tv in the room to be able to watch anything. With two small kids this was unacceptable so we left and went to another hotel as there were no other rooms available.
