Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We ended up not staying at all. Site was very unkept. When we opened the door the musty/mildew odour was overwhelming. There was notes stating the possibilities of electrical issues. The stove consisted of an electrical hotplate placed over the units propane cooktop. Place was very unsuitable, we did not stay at aĺl after looking at situation. We left and found other accomodations
