Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Not bad, not good either
The room in the pictures for booking was nice. Unfortunately, that may have been a remodeled room, the one stayed in was nowhere near what the picture showed. Very outdated, the front porch was under construction which made for a large step into the room and constant banging / loud noises outside the room. May be a nice place to stay if you have kids to utilize the outside play area.
