Cons:

Everything was great. Except the lighting at the rear of room number 4 was so bright that each time I woke during the night I thought it was morning and I'd overslept
On the bright side 😉 there was no stumbling round in the dark and I ended up sleeping with my head under the covers

Nice and convenient
Pros:

It was convenient to where we needed to be.

Cons:

The bed was very soft and we kept rolling into the middle of the bed. The bathroom was very outdated, and it had water damage to sink cabinet area. Also the shower screen doors wouldn’t close. One door was off the rails, and wouldn’t slide. Outside of fridge had rust and damage to fridge door. But for the price, it was good for a 1 night stay.

Pros:

Location was great, outdoor area near pool would be a great spot in summer

Cons:

It's an older establishment. The tavern next door is open till 3am. I didn't hear any noise from there but patrons who where staying but going to tavern didn't respect others. Slamming doors, yelling, throwing up. As reception is the bar at tavern no one around to deal with on the spot issues.
