Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was not as pictured. The bed was against the wall and the person on the inside had to crawl down to get out of bed. The shower was not private and it was tiny so you could not lather up and there was nowhere to change clothes. There was no seating. The futon creaked very loudly with every movement and woke everyone up. There was no table near the microwave. Towels were old. Pillows were flat. Parking was difficult to find. We forfeited our second nights stay and left early. Very sad place to stay...

Very courteous staff. Great location. The unit was clean and big enough for the two of us. The heater/AC unit was amazingly loud and came on and off all night (poor insulation). The bed was not great. The spare blanket was dirty but necessary for when the heater was off, but we were hot and cold all night long. So glad it was only one night.

The room and staff were great! Best location right in the middle of town. The room did get a little chilly when it was 15* outside - and we wished the waffle shop inside the hotel was open. Other than that, we will definitely be back!
