The room we were in was very small which was fine other than the bathroom. It was so small I felt like I needed to keep the door open. The bed moved around with every turn. It was clean which is most important. And close to the sights.

6/10 Good

The hotel room was nice, and we had a great check in experience. Unfortunately, our shower had no hot water and sprayed water out of the top of the shower head. We told the property owners when we checked out, and they said they’d fix it. We’d stay here again!

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This is a extremely nice place to stay, very clean rooms and property. The owner, she was extremely nice and helpful, she made checking in and out very easy also. My only personal issue was as a tall and heavyset guy the bathroom fixtures were difficult to use comfortably. Besides that this was a very nice place to stay. It met all the needs of a couple wanting to sight see throughout the day then come back to a quite, clean place to sleep for the night.
