Each room is themed. Ours was baseball. The room was very clean and the owners thought of extras such as small, colored towels specifically for cleaning and shoe/boot cleaners and a shoe tray/mat. The bed and pillows were comfortable and very clean. Everything about the room was clean and comfortable. Truly enjoyed this place!

Check in went okay. But the shower was broken. They accused me of breaking it. Then she told a 70 year old women to take a bath and they had stained old bathtub that had old dirty strips in bottom of the bathtub.she wanted us to put our Arse/Butt on that. I refused and I want you to stop payment at once or I will. She wanted us to go to next room to shower and move all our stuff there and charge me again for room.i refused I paid for room to sleep and shower to attend funeral and neither of us could shower. No free coffee or ice. Said room was newly remodeled , painted old paneling. And a broken shower is Remodeling ..He threatened and swore at us. And said 3 times get the hell off my f...ing property and she said it twice to. We were in our nightwear and wanted to shower. Had to go to funeral with a Dirty body.... I have never been so mistreated in 70 years Unbelievable.....
