Easy space to heat in the cooler months with the little heater. Television easy to use and has ability to have live TV or streaming. Amenities given for shower and daily housekeeping. Bonus dog friendly! Sliding door to shut off to the kitchen kept falling off the runner, low shower pressure, located just off the road and a train track so could be quite noisy. Lights didn't turn off outside so room was bright all night despite curtains.
- Paul (8/5): -
- Carol T (5/5): Rustic but clean, good for a stopover on your journey. - Good location. Good to be able to have car right outside. Handy kitchen for if you wanted to have meals there. The room reeked of a heavily scented floral smell, like a car air freshener. I thought the room may have just been sprayed but the smell never dissipated. I hunted the whole room for the source but could not find it. The next day it was just as bad.
- Ula (10/5): -
- Steve (10/5): - Very tidy and comfortable good value for money
- Barbara (10/5): Nice quite clean good location - I could have my dogs stay opposite unit but straight outside but happy close enough
