Our room was spotless, and our host was extremely helpful and friendly. They lock the gate at 11pm but are always happy to open it for guests and I really liked that feature. It was an excellent stay and I hope to stay there again. Thank you to the hosts!

It was excellent value. A much nicer room then the price might allude. An older property that is a little banged up. But really clean, safe and comfortable all the things that matter. When coming through Duncan we will be staying here again

The staff were very pleasant and kind. They provided us with extra pillows when we asked and even offered to bring them up to our room. The suite was very clean. I would definitely stay there again.
