The kids loved the novelty of staying in a school. The playground and gym were well received. My husband did not like the communal aspect of the bathroom situation, but it did not bother the rest of us. Because it is an old school, there are some quirks that we needed to work around. For example, the door to the room has a huge window that the owners covered with window cling. This did not provide a comfortable level of privacy for us, so we tacked one of the maps in the room over the window. That helped a lot. The hall lights are on at night, so covering that window was necessary for us to have enough darkness for a good night sleep. The furniture in the room is not entirely comfortable, but there are couches in the common room to hang out on. When staying in the area, drive north about 10 minutes to Paradise Cafe, a decent, affordable greasy spoon (only open until 2 pm). Overall, this is a great option in the area for an affordable and clean stay. Well worth the money and it is helping out a plucky little town.
