"Good facility close to town but the kitchenette was lacking. We would have appreciated a toaster and a bit more than a hot plate to cook on. The coffee maker was a nice touch but difficult to pour water into without spilling. The bed was comfortable but the legs on the very edge of the frame resulted in several stubbed toes. Would I come back? Only if a better property was not available."
