The property was very clean- the beds and pillows were comfy. These are my issues: very noisy- like sleeping in a canvas tent next to a highway. We were unaware there was a unit above ours until after we were asleep and the guests arrived. Wood flooring was not a good choice with having a unit above. We stayed in unit 1 and 3 times people came to our door asking for reception- 1 at midnight. We were on vacation too, not customer service- although I did direct them to call the # listed in the email. The door didn’t have a seal around it and we took a towel to put across the threshold to try to keep cold air out. Advertises Netflix but when it was actively snowing outside didn’t have enough users available to watch. Has 14 units but only 7 parking spaces, 5 if guests have large SUVs. We parked in some random unlit parking lot behind the cabins which thankfully nothing happened to the car. Maybe our experience would have been different with a different unit, but for the near $400/ night (with taxes and fees) we paid I have a higher expectation.

Could not access room at check in, someone had to meet us to open our door after code didn’t work. Not nearly as nice as the pictures show. Lastly it’s in an alley in town not a cabin in any sort of wilderness.

Construction with a large backhoe was right against our unit. Also sandbags in the front. It rained one night and the area around our steps was very muddy. Also parking is really tight.

Great room. Comfortable. Within easy walking access to groceries, fuel, and dining places. Responsive staff. Well-appointed room (loved having a decent-sized fridge). Check-in and check-out were a breeze. I'll definitely stay there next time.
