I don’t know who posted this property was well taken care of but these rooms are crap. the carpet is very old in units that they rent out first. The stench was bad enough that we had to ask for a different room as we couldn’t breathe. Yes it’s cheap but it looks like someone died here and no one cleaned it up. We will not return

Small inn. Beautiful, big room with King bed and pullout couch. Really hot water for showers and a soak in the tub. It was convenient to everything we were doing. Would stay again.

do better RHI
Specified at booking that there were 3 adults. Picked a room with a king bed and a pullout sofa. I asked at check-in where I would find bedding for the pullout sofa. Attendant went to get me an undersheet, top sheet and a blanket the size and thickness of a towel. Said that's all he had and no pillows??? Why advertise a pullout sofa if you don't have appropriate linens and enough pillows for it. The bed in the room had 4 pillows so one was used for the pullout sofa. When putting the undersheet on, it was dirty in a spot and when I touched it, the dirt was crunchy and started to flake off. We put it on inside out instead. I had packed some car snacks that needed refrigeration. When I opened the fridge someone had left a Tim Hortons drink, it was still full, had separated. This was obviously not cleaned up from the previous guests. So gross. No idea how long it had been in there. I've stayed here in the past. It's economical and provides a bed. Don't expect anything more. The breakfast is 3 types of cereal. Some yogurt and very OVERRIPE (unedible) bananas and apples. We arrived, went to bed, got up early and left. Just sleep and leave
