10/10 Excellent

"Lovely spot. We used it to come into town for some medical appts at the University. Excellent location esp for the Fixel Institute. Convenient to downtown and other attractions."

Depot Village

8/10 Good

"Our biggest issue was the setup of the bathroom. With no shower curtain or door, anytime we took a shower, the floor and everything else in the small space got wet and made the floor slippery. The hot water didn't last long either. The only other issue was there is nowhere to just sit in the living space other than two small stools at the bar. Would love to have had somewhere to sit other than the bed."
