The room was ok. Nothing really bad about it. It was adequate. The parking is highly inadequate. Probably 6 spots for 30 rooms. I don’t know the exact ratio but plan on parking down the road someplace.

The staff were welcoming and kind. The tiny house was clean and tidy. The bed unfortunately was rather hard and uncomfortable and the pillows were rather skinny. The place had some interesting quirks as far as heating and the floor in the kitchen squeaked really loud.

Clean room that served its purpose.
Main room from front door. There is no room coffee maker.
Bathroom area from the middle room. Big door goes outside, little door is the toilet closet. Shower is the bump out. Sink to the left.
Sink and shower view from the back door.
