Great value for the price. Rooms are very basic and customer service is non-existent. But I paid half the price of most hotels in the area.

It gets the job done. It’s a room to sleep and clean up in. Clean and fine. No frills. Our door was broken, we couldn’t get ahold of anyone beforehand, the owners are friendly, helpful and the surrounding area is nice.

The property owners were very nice and kind to our family. There was a lot of us that stayed there due to us having a wedding to attend. Locked myself out of my room a couple of times and they gave me a new key card without any problems. very nice clean place to stay. I would definitely stay there again.

Not clean

The room was not clean it was full of with and bugs. The blinds did not close all the way so you could see inside. The pillows had yellow stains. Very sad place. We ended up leaving in the middle of the night to drive back home because it was so bad.

We love staying here because of the location to restaurants and walking. The bed was comfortable but a better coffeemaker would be nice. Also, the pet fee is $35 compared to $20 at most places.
