No hassle parking the tractor outside. Solid concrete walls on unit endured a quiet night. Nice touch with the fresh half pint of milk in a sealed glass bottle that was offered. Very suiting for the area.

Even though the unit is dated and would benefit hugely with $ spent to upgrade them, they were clean, with all amenities supplied and helpful staff.

It was all there, but somewhat quaint and cute; a taste of the good old days. The heatpump was old and ineffective, but the bed was supremely comfortable. An enjoyable one night stay for one person. André.
