Perfect for us!

Everything was perfect for us! The cottage was clean and comfortable. The view was spectacular! It was nice to have grass in the front and back yards for our dogs. The Wi-Fi was pretty slow, and the bathroom is tiny, but the price is right! We will be back!

Room was clean, a little inconvenient without a dresser or closet but it served its purpose. I misread the property details and thought that there was an area for all the guest to hang out and play corn hole and pool but those areas were specifically designated for only guest that book that specific room. But overall, loved our time spent here

This place is very cute and conveniently located. They have thick windows to block the noise from the freeway. However, get a room upstairs if you can, because once your neighbor is up, you are up! You can hear it all. The bathroom could definitely be cleaner, mold in the shower. But, everything is nice. Good deal for the price on a Sunday night!

Great for one night stay

The hotel is very close to city center, the staff is very nice and the room spacious. The mattress was a little too hard and the shower door was not fully closing, other than that this was perfect for one night.
