8/10 Good
"This was a cheap room, very bare bones and basic but exactly what we needed for one night close to all the cool attractions in the area. It was just my 13-year-old son and I. The receptionist was extremely nice and explained everything really well. She even turned the heat on for us and explain the space heater which we definitely needed as it was pretty chilly that night.I was a little bummed out that the beds were slightly squeaky, the doors to the rooms were really loud, and the walls seem to be very thin. But even with all that I still slept well. Overall happy about it, but perhaps I would try the more chalet style rooms next time and find an even better experience."
