    A bit noisy when new neighbours or new guests were home. Could use some curtains to help keep out light and a kettle would be great.

    Can you call this an apartment when there’s no kitchen? You need to call this an apartment with no kitchen, be more specific. Can’t make a cup of tea/coffee as there is no kettle and there are no cups. It’s tough to get a water bottle under the bathroom sink to fill it. I was here in summer so it wasn’t a huge inconvenience. If I were here in winter to ski then I could not recommend this place, you’d be better off in a hotel.

    Clean and comfortable

    Not very close to town.

    The location was good as it is close to the river but not really walkable to town. The room is basic but well appointed and comfortable.

    I had to contact the property for help to get the access key as they were not sent to me by email.

    The entrance key code is long but works well.

    Not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival. Lounge chair is uncomfortable and old. An upgrade would help.

    Awesome location on the river. A short cycle to town. Lots of wildlife in summer.

    Information provided indicated there would be kitchen incidentals for a couple of days. We only found salt/pepper and coffee. We expected sugar/cream and oil also. The chairs at the kitchen table were uncomfortable as was the couch and chair in the TV area. All the door knobs on the kitchen doors were loose/falling off as were the handles on the pots/ pans making them dangerous to use. Minimal snow removal was done prior to our arrival. There was a shovel so we cleared up what we could and put out ice melter. The information provided indicated there would be a key for an outside locker for sports equipment but we never found it. We had to store our X-country skis and snowshoes in our vehicle.

    Lots of space for our needs. Kitchen had enough pots/pans and dishes which was nice for cooking.

    The carpet was quite dirty which made it seem a bit grungy. Also I was sad that there was no coffee maker or tea kettle there to make our morning coffee

    Location was great… loved being near the river. The shower and beds were excellent, and there was a small table to make our breakfast sandwich on.

    Stairs both up and down to both bedrooms, bathrooms for downstairs bedroom up a set of stairs.

    Good last minute overnight stay. Furnishings a little tired. Couldn’t comment on staff as we didn’t see any.

    I would have been better if I had logged into the guest portal and found the door lock code. I ignored the guest portal. I thought it would be unnecessary. I expected to just show my booking confirmation at the front desk, but it doesn't work that way. You must log into the guest portal after booking confirmation to get the code to unlock the door. Oh, the other thing we didn't like (but not a deal breaker) is that you have to pay a $10 damage fee or a $500 damage deposit. We paid the $10 and did no damage, but the $10 is not refundable like the $500 is ( or at least it says it is) Long set of stairs. Not for the faint of heart.

    Door code worked fine but I expected a front desk. Don't expect one. There is no front desk.
