Great for a long stay and very convenient to town and other sites to visit. Property is older and a bit worn down, but had everything we needed and comfortable spots to hang out, inside and out. Only complaint: reading and bedside lamps were useless for the nightly crossword puzzle!

The bathroom was OK. The window blind needs replacing as it has water spotting on it which makes it unattractive. The toilet bowel cover is loose to the point it is a safety concern. There needs to be a mat in front of the sink to prevent excess water dripping on the floor. But the bath is clean in other respects.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room appeared newly renovated but it had dirty floors, a pocket door to the bathroom that only 1/2 opened, and a tv that had the worst picture with a 10 inch border of green. We asked for a different one but was told in 10 minutes the picture would be good. It never got better. They changed it out the next day but the soccer game was long over. Outside Door to room next to us had no knob or lock. Possibly homeless could be in there.

I stay in a lot of places and have never experienced a place like this. Dirty, smells, no smoke detector, no plates on the plugs. Hard plastic shower curtain, dead bugs in the lights.
