Pros:

Room was clean and tidy. The chicken and soup were tasty. There's only one staff that handles everything and she is cheerful and hospitable. Wifi signal however is weak inside the room.

Pros:

Very unique, in an old school that they have renovated. We stayed in the grade 2 classroom that had 2 double bunk beds, perfect for a large family. The beds were custom made, new, had comfortable mattresses.
The bathroom was new, clean and a good size.
We arrived late and didn’t get a chance to check out the games area with the pool tables or the bar or restaurant.
Continental breakfast in the morning was good.
All in all, a good value for the price we paid.

Frustrated
Pros:

On our way to the hotel we got a message saying the owner had canceled our reservation for the 17th. We were not informed before then by hotels.com or anyone. We had no other place to go as it was booked every where close to oue destination. The owner put us up in a room that was not a rental unit. We Left some of our belongings and other items in the car and had to get ice for his insulin as there was no fridge in the room. We got charged full price.
Next day we had a room rented at the same hotel and everything was good. Nice people but it was not a good experience for either my husband or myself.
Next time I will book directly with the hotel.

This is a renovated school and they have done a great job! Just a thought, but if you are staying here, would be nice to offer guests a little discount if they eat here too.
