    parking issues
    shared patio access

    I had a good experience during my stay. The receptionist was helpful and allowed us to use the kitchen to cook. The room was spacious with a mini-fridge and microwave. It was easy to walk to nearby supermarkets and restaurants. The outdoor patio was nice but shared among ground floor rooms. I appreciated the electric blankets during cold nights. Being single, I found it convenient to have everything within walking distance.

    cozy patio
    clean room
    central location
    dated bathroom

    The central location near the lake and supermarket was unbeatable. Loved the spacious room with a cozy patio. Cleanliness stood out, with everything in working order. Noticed some noise from the creaky floors, especially late at night, which might disturb light sleepers. The kitchenette was adequately stocked but could benefit from a few more essential items. Parking was limited, and the bathroom felt a bit dated without shampoo and conditioner provided. Minor updates would greatly enhance the stay.

    electric blankets
    noise issues
    limited parking

    Electric blankets kept us warm during chilly nights.

    Our stay was marred by noticeable noise from neighboring units. The walls between rooms lacked adequate insulation, making it difficult to enjoy peace during late hours. parking was limited, and we often struggled to find a spot, leaving us concerned about potential damage to our car.

    central location
    electric blankets
    uncomfortable mattress

    Centrally located near the supermarket. Electric blankets provided for colder nights.

    Room had a tired mattress that wasn't comfortable, and a range of mismatched cutlery that included only one large and one small spoon. The kitchenette lacked essential items, like knives, and the fridge had a broken ice box door that leaked, creating a bit of a mess.

    spacious room
    helpful staff
    late check-in

    We had a canny time! The room was spacious with a full kitchen, lovely for cooking after exploring. The supermarket next door was a massive help too. Only downside was the late check-in, but the staff were dead friendly and made it easy! Would come back for sure!

    Centrally located, the room was spacious and equipped with a kitchenette that made cooking dinners after a day of exploring easy. The electric blankets kept us warm and cozy during the chilly nights. Being right next to a New World supermarket was super handy for quick grocery runs!
