Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We have always stayed in rooms 103 and 104 that have air conditioning. CONS; I missed that 107 has no air con, which would be fine if the front window opened to create air flow between the two bedrooms. The back bedroom has a ok size window, but it didn't cool the front bedroom even though we used our fan. The bathroom has no hooks for bath towels and there is nowhere to hang clothes. Technically this room sleeps 6 with 3 double beds, but there is not really enough room for luggage etc. PROS: The property is always clean and we like the little freezer. Check-in is easy.

My wife’s car broke down on the way out and when I tried to cancel I was told no refunds within 24 hours. I understand policy but it feels like adding insult to injury. Now I have to pay for another hotel near the car while we wait for roadside assistance towing to come.
