We did enjoy our stay as it was a beautiful apartment with a gorgeous view. Very clean upon check-in. 3 adults stayed 4 nights. A few opportunities for improvement: --Numbers to apartment door code in welcome email were transposed, maintenance assisted with access to apartment. --Toilet in "master" bedroom was quite slow/clogged. I emailed evening we arrived and with no response by afternoon next day I called. Toilet was snaked shortly afterwards but never really flushed normally, so we just used the smaller bathroom's toilet. --No hair dryers in apartment per website listing --No soap/shampoo/toiletries in apartment per website listing. --One washcloth upon check-in. Received extra next day when toilet snaked. --Hand soap only in smaller bathroom. --Oven did not work, appeared to not be connected to electricity. Did not attempt to use stove top. Microwave worked. --Recessed lights in kitchen area flickered a lot - We just left them off. It would be very helpful to have a booklet with how to operate curtains, thermostat, TV, where the fitness facility was located, etc (as other -------- or other short stay locations have). It seemed the electric curtains could only be all the way opened or closed. The maintenance man was very friendly and quite cordial, and I appreciated his quick response both times I called for assistance. I would stay again if these "minor" inconveniences were addressed and they would not not occur again.

"Great place to stay. We were driving through from our road trip back to Florida and we wanted to stop to check the Little House on the Prairie museum, which is located 15 minutes from the hotel. We went to get food two blocks walking distance from the hotel. Great staff and clean."

"Good hotel for a 1 night stay. Breakfast was very very basic mostly sugar junk - no fruit despite a sign saying fruit - no iron in room and iron not available at the property. Probably not worth what I paid as have stayed in similar hotels for $40 a night"
