No . Bathroom tap in sink difficult to get hot water. One of the light shades in room missing. Curtain rod hanging off on one side. Only chair in room stained. My room was located in area of the property away from the main building and with no outside light, so safety was an issue. The room appeared clean.

Our room was newly renovated and clean, but very small. We were expecting the room to look a little more like the picture(s) included online, but it wasn't. No table or closet, only one chair and only a few hooks at the entrance for anything you wanted hung. We were there for a wedding and had to hang our clothing with our outdoor coats. No iron in the room but was able to get use of one when asked. The only mirror is over the bathroom sink, but the bathroom itself was spacious with a nice big tub. I would book a room with 2 beds if we plan to stay here again. The food and service at their attached restaurant was excellent. A big shout out to Darlene!! She has exceptional skills in handling check in/out with ease and running the restaurant as if there were 5 of her! Highly recommend eating there!

The room wasn't big but was spotless with an extremely comfortable bed. One of the best beds on our trip! It had a microwave & fridge but was missing a coffee maker which was a big negative. Restaurant on property was closed which was a huge disappointment & let-down.. Luckily there was an upscale grocer next door where we bought takeout for dinner & Tim Hortens 2km away for coffee. I would definitely recommend this place but check FIRST to see if the restaurant is open!
