The staff was lovely but the room was very unclean. Stunk of cigarettes and there was burn holes in the bedding. Empty alcohol bottles and cans everywhere. We left immediately. The staff was lovely and looked defeated. My heart goes out to them but I couldn't stay there with my immune compromised husband and children

That was our worst decision during our road trip. We took the place in rush, because we hadn’t planned in advance. The bath tub drain was plugged, the sink drain was plugged, the bed sheet had blood spots on, the garbage can was full from the previous visitors Although the reception refunded 1/3 of our money, but did they bring our night back? Avoid this place if you only want a nice shower and a pleasant sleep, because you won’t get them.

On arrival we waited 5 minutes outside in the cold for someone to answer the door. After he checked us in he wanted me, my husband and four children to wait another 30-45mins because he had put someone in our room!!!!! I declined against waiting as a room should already be ready, and EMPTY for the people who actually reserved it!!! This resulted in us not being able to get a room anywhere(hockey tournament happening this is why we were down there) We ended up driving 2.5hours back home after a long travel down. TERRIBLE!!!!!
