Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Could have been better although price was right.
Had to repair room wall heater myself to get any heat in room (found wire loose from circuit board). Fresh snow bombs kept dropping on roof from overhead tree boughs (very loud) all night long. Front desk not available by phone to check out in AM. Room was available on short notice at a very reasonable price. Probably a great place in summer but not during a heavy snowstorm. Room was clean and comfortable. Close to town.

Not what it seems.
I booked a room hoping to get at least a mini fridge, and a microwave, and was informed that I actually got the only room that didn’t have that. There was no cable or TV services, even tho there was a TV in the room. The floors were painfully cold and I couldn’t walk on the floor without slipper or shoes on. It was overall an underwhelming and disappointing experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Total regret on staying here. Unit was dirty and unsafe. Floors were dirty. All counters and table was not wiped down and the dishwasher had dirty dishes and food. There were a couple large stains on bedspread. The kicker was mouse droppings on the kitchen. That and exposed electrical outlet and no smoke alarm for a unit that had a stove. A terrible combination of dirty and uninhabitable. Would not recommend.
