This place is amazing! The room was clean, the bed comfortable, plenty of space with a little kitchenette. My only complaint is you can’t adjust the temperature of the room. Which would be ok if there was at least a fan to turn on when it got too hot. Also not an issue just FYI the drive is gravel and rough. Check in was super easy. They send you a text with the room # and door code (love that). Overall I’d definitely recommend staying here.
Property is nice and modern. We never saw any staff but the cleaning staff at the office in the morning. We checked in using a door code. I would suggest to have some paper towel in the kitchen and strengthen the wifi just a little. Price is also a little high but we enjoyed our stay.
Lovely place. Clean and simple bed sets with fluffy pillow and blankets, and soft beds. Modern kitchen appliance. Nice sitting area by the window. And a clean and spacious bathroom.
It is summer time here. We got too hot in the room and there was no fan or air conditioning. We ended up opening up the windows early in the morning. But it was still a wonderful place to stay at.
Easy check in system that we didn’t need to talk to anybody. I could use my phone to unlock or it gave us a code to type in on the digital lock. People staying there were respectful. It was quiet through the night.
Brand new facility, no front desk or staff on-site. Clean and spacious rooms, TV or Fireplace didn't work, refrigerator was big and nice, but door hinged on the incorrect side. No paper towels or Kleenex tissues, we had to purchase our own. Unfinished parking lot with sewage stream outside.

Stayed two nights. Our room was on the second floor. No elevator so we had to carry our suitcases up a long flight of stairs.
Grounds are primarily a giant gravel pit. Dirt roads in and out with large pot holes.
Overall the room was “clean” if you ignore two things:
1. The shower curtain is stained and looks like it hasn’t been changed in a month. See attached picture.
2. Because of all the dirt outside, the floor inside is dirty.
This place is perfect if:
1. You can carry your luggage up stairs
2. You don’t mind the parking lot dirt road and pot holes
3. You don’t mind not being able to adjust the thermostat. It’s locked out.
4. You don’t mind stained shower curtains.
5. You don’t mind not having a GFCI outlet next to the kitchen sink.
Place was clean and easy to check in. I was surprised there was no toaster, and I had to ask for a fan (which they accommodated) as there was only one window and it looks out to the people walking right by your room.
Fairly recent building, plenty of construction equipment, pallets of cinder blocks and other items still around the property so I guess they're not entirely done. Very odd TV placement in the room and weird location/height for outlets. We would have liked to find a can opener, a roll of paper towels and maybe something to boil water in. Bathroom outlets and the range hood didn't work. Overall, it did the job of providing a safe, warm place to spend the night with running hot water but nothing else to write home about.
Stay was good. Room size was big. Great views. No staff though. But everything was new and clean.

Beautiful spot. Nice little coffee shop on the property.
We stayed overnight before getting on a cruise. It was very close to the cruise port. They drove us all to the port too.
Simple - a bed, bath and kitchenette. The property was clean, ready when they said it would be. You do need a car to get around from that location. Hard to get or find an uber.
Beautiful place and I would stay there again. Couple of things... we could hear everything the upstairs neighbor did. Also, it is a self check in place and we did not get a message about how to do that.
