What a fantastic stay we had! We stayed 2 nights and everything was wonderful. Super clean room that appeared to be newly remodeled. Easy check in and out with the friendliest owner possible. Clean balcony with new chairs and tables made sitting out enjoying the evening a pleasure. Beds were super comfy and I think these were the biggest and best pillows we have ever had while away from home. Plenty of tv channels and great wifi. We will most assuredly stay here again.

Simple and clean. Exactly what we needed for a late arrival stopover on our way to our final destination. Samantha was very helpful when we told her we would be arriving after midnight. She made sure everything was taken care of, and that we would know exactly where our room was. Super easy and we got in and out, exactly what we needed for this part of our trip.
