The location of this spot was great. The owners called me in advance to my stay. I notified them that my Wife and I would be coming in late and they really helped and worked with us on making sure we got in our room after hours. It was very convenient especially after a long day.

Place was okay, bed was extremely uncomfortable I got barely any sleep. I was also charged $35 out of my incidentals for some reason without being given an explanation. While it was affordable for the reasons above I think next time we will stay at another place.

I thought the room was roomy and comfortable. Best hotel air conditioner ever by far! Was great that the owner lived on site and the hotel had such a warm family feel. Would have preferred more water pressure and a plug on both sides of the bed.
