Comfy room
After reading some of the reviews ( which are admittedly older reviews)I was nervous about my booking. Yes, its a bit dated, but I was very pleasany surprised. The lady at the desk was friendly, the halls were clean and odourless and the room was just fine. Bed was comfy and clean, bathroom was clean. No issues! Thank you!

Liked: Staff & service
The stuff didnt ask me how many pets we had. So, there was an unexpected 2nd pet fee when we got there. There was trash under the beds including an old shirt. The door to the room was broken, so we only had the deadbolt and not the extra security lock. I wont be staying here again.

I stayed here while on a pheasant hunt. I was there to sleep and get up to hunt, so it served its purpose and that’s all I can ask for. I will be staying here again next year.

Great location. Currently being renovated but they were careful to give only rooms far enough from the work that we didn’t hear any of it. Staff was so nice. Would stay again.

An older property, there were places where things were worn. But it was very clean. Smelled fresh without chemicals. Good value. Would stay there again.

They are renovating - what is completed is really nice so it will be excellent soon but for now some things are a little dated. Our room was clean and spacious and the facility is right next to the dome so conveniently located for university events. Staff was really nice and welcoming. Would stay here again.
