10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean, nothing missing, broken or not working. Bed was comfortable. Parking was a little tight, just like every other place. Upon arrival, there was no one in the office, only a note that said to text when ready to check in. Texted the number, no response, texted again, no answer. Called the other number given, someone answered. I assume they looked up the reservation, gave us the room number (16) and an access code to be used on the door. Room found, access code worked. I was taken back by this procedure, but it worked. Never saw the staff."
