The room was very clean and worth the charged rate. I was arriving late and I understand that this small business is managed by the owner but found it cumbersome having to call multiple times to confirm my arrival time. Perhaps just send a message pettiest know that if the office is not open to call a number to get staff for late check ins? It would have allowed me to enjoy my vacation day more

Everything was perfect except the staff. They tell you where to smoke, but than they kick you out because you smell like smoke. They go in claiming to clean your room everyday but they snoop through your stuff. I would not recommend this place to anyone even my enemies

Clean and comfortable. The Little freezer section in the fridge is a real bonus, as well as the laundry. What more could you ask for at this price!
