Yuri

Liked: Amenities
Rooms are spacious, clean and good looking but if you stay in winter than consider other options. The room was generally cold and the bathroom hotrail and heating fan were both out of order, considering the vent windows that couldn't be properly shut we had 8 degrees in the morning, not really what you would expect for 200$

We only had one night here but it was perfect! The room was very clean and tidy, bathroom was quite new looking and pristine. It had everything we needed. The best part was arriving to a beautifully prepared, pre-warmed room after hours of driving. Extra thanks to the thoughtful staff who gave us this lovely welcome!
