We hate to write a poor review, but we wish we would have read about these details prior to booking.
Before we get to that, here are our positives: on site coffeehouse, store, games, laundry & pool.
Our initial impression was unwelcoming upon checking in. The individual at the front desk made an unprofessional / smart remark as we were checking in. Additionally, they acted as if they couldn’t care less that we were staying there.
We understand the minimalistic design, geared towards adventure and catering to that aspect. However, aesthetic over function is not a great feature for a “hotel.”
Pro tip: do not just “plop” down on the bed — hard as a rock!! We woke up very sore after an unrestful night of sleep. What also played into the poor sleep was how THIN the ceiling & walls are. We could hardly sleep due to walking around upstairs, bikes coming down the hall, people talking, etc.
Don’t plan on watching any tv while staying — it’s there but doesn’t work.
Maybe the worse part… there was a wooden dowel rod in our window sill that was acting as the lock for our window. The actual lock was a cheap plastic that obviously the owner knows will not hold if tested. We stayed at the back of the property (that doesn’t appear the most safe) & this was a very unsettling feature.
Lastly, we are very annoyed at the price that we paid for such a terrible experience. This is what seems to be a renovated Motel 8 & despite the aesthetic upgrades, the bones still scream motel 8.
