Our tub didnt drain when having a shower and the tub leaked so when we stepped out of shower if you weren’t careful you could have fallen. Countertop where coffee pot goes was very dusty. Starting to feel run down. We have stayed here many times.

We have stayed here numerous times before and find that it is clean and comfortable, and a good location for walking downtown st a reasonable price. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The one place I think that could be improved is the maintenance of the property. Our exterior door handle was loose, the hinge cover in the ladies washroom by the pool was hanging off, the bathtub in one of the rooms would not drain and would leak onto the floor, and exhaust vents were layered in dust. These are simple things to rectify that would make a better impression.
