Never again. How often does anybidy check on places that is on internet
Pros:

What breakfast. No staff and not a sign of breakfast

Cons:

The non existant breakfast. No welcoming staff. Had to go to the back of the main building, which was locked, and found one staff member who was busy doing what looked like a months bedding in a bucket by hand. She gave us a key. No wifi to speak if!!! Tv wasnt working and she saud they inly had tv1 and e rv. Bedlight wasnt working and wall plug was loose and unsafe. Bathroom door has a footlong handle on the outside but nothing inside. Locked uf you close the door when inside. Main building needs upgrading as it looks like a rundown barn from the front. The road in front looks like a plowed field

Pros:

The security guard was really nice. Place was basic and clean. The place is great if you aren't expecting anything.

Cons:

Bed was broken. Lights barely working. No hot water. Only one towel provided for two people.
Would not recommend.
