Affordable.
Pros:

Clean, affordable & central location.

Cons:

The heat pump took hours to heat the small room up & there was no electric blanket so it was cold overnight with a bad heater.
There were only three TV channels so I had to tune the rest of the standard channels myself.

Pros:

We stayed 3 nights and 4 days and it was an amazing stay. The staff was friendly and professional. The environment was quiet and private. The location was easy to get to any places in the area. I highly recommend it!

Cons:

The bathroom's a bit slick, and the showerhead keeps falling. I'd suggest putting a bath mat in the shower for safety.

Pros:

The property was clean and bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Netflix movies were not loading (assume bad internet speed). The light switch for the bathroom would turn the ventilation on which was very noisy. Breakfast was not operating/available.
The staff did not knew how to suggest options available of places to eat.
