This is an older property that has been refurbished. Not everything is in top-notch shape, dripping bathtub for example, but the staff is very friendly and the breakfast was good. It’s like staying at the home of a friend that means well.
This was a quaint hotel. It was not fancy, but it was clean & the staff was friendly. The bed was amazing! We were able to get a good night's sleep. The rooms were well maintained, and we will be back if we need to stay in town.
The hotel is definitely older, some things were damaged such as the pull out bed and obvious water stains in the drywall around the door. My wife and I really enjoyed the stay, the room was clean and staff was nice. I think for the condition and price of the hotel rooms its a great option!
This place is underrated. The staff is nice and I love the old school motel vibe. They do a great job of keeping the courtyard looking nice. I'll be back!
I love this place, usually it is quiet but last time on a Saturday night, there were some loud people in the courtyard at 1am. Suddenly, it was quiet again. Love the staff.
