Room was clean and comfortable, but wind howling through the door so loudly was not pleasant at all!! High pitched whistling made it very hard to relax! Location really wasn’t convenient. Not within walking distance of anything. Nothing around. Had to drive into town. Only restaurant close by not good at all!
