Pros. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons. Had a private room. The sheets were brown and dusty. I could hear noise from everyone in neighboring rooms all night. The bed sagged and my back hurt in the morning. The room is basic and there is no place to put anything. Ended up forfeiting the last night and booking somewhere else.

Pros. Clean, comfortable beds, private parking lot, helpful staff, privacy curtain and light with individual outlet to charge your devices, heater in the room, storage closet in the room, big and stocked kitchen (plus free tea, hot chocolate, and coffee!)

Cons. You have to go outside to get to the bathroom- not an issue during summer months but when I went during the winter it was so cold outside!
