It’s a very remote town so surrounding properties, dining options very limited. The streets were literally empty it was kind of weird but the remoteness of the area explains that

Bathroom floor was dirty. Toilet rocked, toilet seat was broken and it ran constantly. The repairs should have been made BEFORE the room was even rented.

No place to take the dog

It was dog friendly but no place nearby to take the dog to the bathroom. The room was small and dark but clean.

Middle of the road hotel

We booked multiple rooms for a family gathering. Some of the rooms were definitely nicer than others. It was tough only having double beds instead of queens. There were multiple breakfast items to choose from. There is not a pool as shown on some websites, but staff was friendly and helpful.
