Great place to stay!

Easy check-in, clean, and easy walk to restaurants in Douglas. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the low water pressure in the shower.

Nice simple place to stay

Neat and tidy but would suggest paper towels and disinfectant for tables in breakfast room for personal use since room is not monitored. Definitely a basic stay which met our needs perfectly.
