8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay here, even if the room/hotel looked a little worn down. Must've been here for awhile. Room was clean and comfortable. Only two complains I have is that the room that we were in was frequently lit up by vehicles passing through from the rear of the hotel, and it took most of three minutes for hot water for the shower. I would come back if I have a reason to, however, we were just looking for accommodations for a concert up the hill. Was even more thankful for the hotel for accommodating my son and his girlfriend to join myself and his sisters and niece for the concert. We even got to spend breakfast together before making our journeys home. Much appreciated. Thank you again for your hospitality."
