6/10 Good

It was the off season so it was very quiet. Room was clean and a nice size.
Mallory, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The structure of the building is off kilter, and the rooms feel like your on a ship, as it’s so slanted, and it throws off your equilibrium and if you suffer vertigo issues, might cause problems. The bed slanted as the whole floor is, so we tried sleeping where the opposite way at our feet end, otherwise we would have been slanted in an uncomfortable position. There were tiny ants in the bathroom everywhere and a hole in the floor!
Kate, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Our room was clean. It wax only a bed, 2 night stands, a tv & bathroom. No closet or dresser Our floor slanted downwards from the window. The bathtub was not level - the water did not drain. There was nobody at the desk when we checked out.
