The only downside to this property is that the walls between the rooms are paper thin and you can hear your neighbors having a regular conversation through the walls. Other than that it is a very cute property with friendly staff.

I booked a 2 night stay even though we only stayed for one because we drove overnight and needed to check in around 4-5am. Check in went smoothly. We got into our room and everything seemed ok. Upon waking a few hours later I noticed the furniture was pretty dusty and there were soap suds still in the shower from previous guests. Later that night the guests next to us were incredibly noisy all night. I called front desk multiple times (she was really kind) and security was sent but they continued to be very loud until 3am waking my family throughout the night. At checkout i wanted to speak to management but was told there was no management until noon. There should be a manager available at all times in my opinion. I received a phone call from said manager and told me all he could do for me is if i decided to return he could offer a complimentary breakfast and a better room. This is the worst experience and customer service i have ever had at a hotel
