"The property for a family was very good with seperate room with 2 twin beds and a kitchenette. Its very convenient to Dark sky project. We arrived late, but the front desk was nice to have the keys tucked in for our self checkin. That reduced a bit of anxiety. Downside is that the interior is bit showing age. The room door was cracked and broken. It looked bad . Wish they had patched up and made it look normal. so reduced star. "
