This property is a bit different to anything else I've stayed at. It's like a hostel with shared bathrooms and common areas etc. No one that was staying there realised that this was what they had booked. It's perfectly fine but if you need to go to the toilet in the night or have a shower then you have to walk all the way down the corridor and through the common area to use the bathrooms. Having said that, it is clean and quiet and there is good parking.

This should be advertised as a hostel. I rented the one single room with its own bathroom, but it was immediately adjacent to the other rooms and common areas and children playing Wrestlemania with the furniture continuously. It was clean, the property manager was nice, but the communal environemnt was not quite what I was expecting

Highlands Motorsports Trip

In commercial/residential area of Highlands Motorsports park. Weird check-in but good once figured out. Parking is weird, room adjoins common dining/rec room so noise continues very late and starts early. Feels somewhat like a private room with en-suite bathroom in a hostel. Good shower, comfortable bed, no a/c.

It is NOT a hotel and should not be advertised as such. It may be a hostel. The room does not have any windows and is claustrophobic and very stuffy. The linen was also smelly. There were no towels in the room or the shared bathroom and none were offered at checkin. I had to go down to find the manager to get towels which were smelly. There are NO toiletries supplied, so bring your own or better stay elsewhere.
