Kari was super nice about letting us check in early so we didn't have lug our luggage around all over creation. The place is in a great location, we were able to walk over to Nicolette where there are many great restaurants and bus stops to downtown. There are 8 kids and a dog upstairs. They were very respectful about being quiet during sleeping hours, they never woke us up! But during the day it was very loud (we think some indoor hockey was being played over us) and we did have a surprise visitor come in through one of the hallway doors at one point. The dog was in the yard only once when we were trying to exit and barked at us very aggressively, one of the kids came and grabbed him so we could leave. We weren't around much so it was a great option for us but I wouldn't recommend it for a quiet romantic getaway ;)
