I enjoyed my stay here, nice location, clean room, friendly staff The only bad thing is that the rooms could do with some kind of cooling system, either a personal fan in each bunk of the shared rooms or air conditioning in the rooms which can be controlled in the room

We loved our 2-night stay. Everything was perfect. Our bed was comfortable and our room was clean. Our room was the perfect temperature. Lots to do within walking distance. Very friendly staff throughout the property. We only wished for a larger tv and wash cloths. First time EVER showering without one- we’d get used to it. 5 out of 5 stars from Ohio

The property is relatively new and clean. The staff were friendly. There are no toiletries apart from a bath soap. Although the facilities were clean, the only reason I gave three stars was because there were some school kids who were part of a camp who stayed above and below our room and there was absolutely no peace and quiet
