Hidden gem
Pros:

This was one of our three stop for our family vacation and the best part of our stay. The hotel at first glance was worrying however the hotel was amazing. The staff were nice and easy going, they gave ideas of places to visit while in town. The room was pet friendly and great. The room was clean, large, and quiet.

I would certainly stay there again.
Pros:

The location of the hotel was perfect for our needs. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go. The customer lounge was perfect for early mornings so I didn't disturb my travelling companions. The bathroom was huge and the rooms was very spacious.

Cons:

There could have been a couple of shelves in the bathroom so I could put my clothes on something besides the floor after I used the shower.

The accommodations were comfortable, clean and pleasant.
Pros:

The bathroom was not all-inclusive—they did not try to put everything in bathroom, therefore one could use the toilet or the shower while another could put on make-up or shave without interfering with the other person’s activity. The bath/shower worked well & everything was very clean.

Cons:

There wasn’t any restaurant or breakfast availability. There also isn’t a restaurant open for morning in the whole community!
