Pros:

The town was awesome

Cons:

The bed was very uncomfortable. We left in the middle of the night because it was so uncomfortable. The cleanliness needs improvement as well

It reminded me of a cozy cottage and I loved it!
Pros:

I love my stay here. It was quiet, clean and so comfortable. It rained when I was there so I didn’t get to use the pool. This was a 10 out of 10.

Cons:

Location was great. Room- large and so nicely set up. Quiet and free parking. Reception communicates professionally and they did so much for us to make this a memorable experience. We have rebooked for March 2027.

Fun and relaxing.
Pros:

It's nostalgia and proximity within Saledo makes for a walkable experience. We enjoy the laidback feeling. Will always look forward to returning for another visit.

Cons:

Was an issue with the use of the pool which was a real disappointment. My observation is that the hotel is lacking an ongoing maintenance program for both maintaining the facilities as well as some upgrades to improve accommodations.
