1st ADA room. Toilet tissue holder falling wall, toilet seat broken or loose, sliding glass door to bathroom would not stay closed. When taking shower, entire bathroom floor was wet. Notified front counter before leaving for a few hours. When we came back, nothing was fixed. Moved to another ADA room. Better, bathroom had about an inch of water around toilet after 2 showers. Very poor drainage design

Inexpensive and nice size for 1-2 travelers. Just enough room with cool amenities. Nice bar and lounge areas. Kudos to Fernie for making us feel welcome and providing recommendations nearby. I will definitely be back to stay again.
