We needed staff assistance with our door lock and television remote control. Their response was immediate and they were most helpful and pleasant to deal with. This is the 2nd time we've stayed at Haven Inn. Obviously our first experience was pleasant enough for us to book again.

Bad customer service

Manager came bagging on our door at 4am because my partners brother stopped by on his way to work because they haven’t seen each other in a long time and brought us coffee. We were told no guests were allowed and when I explained to him he was just dropping off coffee and saying hi he waited outside of the room for him to leave. Super awkward and invasive.

It's much better than you can expect for the price, and looks better on the inside than you'd expect from the outside. Not bad at all.

Disliked: Amenities
Clean room and bed and convenient parking right in front of the unit. One needs to buzz an intercom to just gain access to the front desk even in the middle of the day or when checking out in the morning. The bathroom is cramped. The shower drain did not work properly, so water backed up over my feet even after a relatively short shower. No extras such as a box of Kleenex or a plate for the microwave provided. My stay was at the end of March when outside temperature was hovering around zero. The linoleum floor (no carpet) was very cold. As others have noted, this is "bare bones" accommodation.
