newly renovated roomcomfortable bedfriendly ownerlow water pressureempty buildinginefficient heating
The room was newly renovated and featured a comfortable bed. The linens and towels looked very nice. I enjoyed watching the bird feeders just outside , and I spotted a red squirrel. The owner was friendly.
The showers were not optimal. the water pressure was low. The building felt quite empty. possibly due to the season. The heating was not very efficient.
