Cheap place for a short sray

Liked:The location was good, with convenience stores within walking distance and the waterfront a shirt drive away. The room was "cute" and well-appointed.

Disliked:There was an air of neglect of housekeeping, with accumulated dust on almost all hiruzontal surfaces. The ashtray on the porch from the room next door was not emptied when the occupants checked out.

Would not recommend

Liked:The bed was comfy, there was a heat pump, shower was good (despite the DIY tile job and controls in an awkward place). More economical than most other single traveller options.

Disliked:This place needs attention. I almost left seeing the state of the property but had pre-booked. So many little needed to be fixed: dings in the wall, baseboards in the bathroom, very loose sink faucet. Hopefully the cabins are better. Does no one care about this place?
