"Pros: Staff were friendly. Room was very cost effective for the area. The bathroom was clean. The beds were clean. Roku TV with every app available. Heat pump for on demand climate control. Cons: The fridge could use a good cleaning. This one detractor would not stop me from coming back as the pros vastly outweighed it. 8/10 would definitely recommend and return to property."
