Crap
Pros:

Rooms were not as described on Booking.com. Meant to be two double beds but only 1 queen. Staff were no help at all. Rooms were filthy and heard other guests complaining about cleanliness as well. Eg blood on sheets. Could not get out of there quick enough

Cons:

Everything!

No effort put in to upkeep property
Pros:

Bed was comfortable. Shower head was big and good pressure.

Cons:

No room service. Stained carpet. No hair dryer in bathroom. WiFi was not connected to internet so was useless. The hotel could be truly wonderful but given it's the only hotel in the area and walking distance to the only wedding venue in the area, I don't think the owners care to put effort in because it could be Schitts Creek hotel and people would still stay there based purely on location. The room I booked was a deluxe with a king bed. I arrived to a room with twin beds. My nephew booked the same room and had the same thing happen to him. I was able to have my room changed but he was told "what do you want me to do about it?" by the property owner. Really poor service. Don't advertise rooms that aren't available. Also says there is room service and amenities on the website that aren't offered. Walked into reception and someone had obviously just done a massive stinky poo in the staff toilet because it smelt foul when I walked in. Air conditioner wasn't working in another family friends room. Cutlery offered in room was still dirty and there was no forks.

Greata experience

Would definitely not stay again and not worth the money at all
Pros:

That it was close to the shops

Cons:

No door locks on bedroom, sliding door on each side of the bathroom that should have definitely needed locks. Every word and every noise could hear ECCO through the unit.
