This was an unexpected, unique property, which is something we love about road-tripping. Although smaller than most hotel rooms, it provided everything we needed, was clean and comfortable. The best part was the owner’s (Bonnie) hospitality. We enjoyed our conversation with her at breakfast, where she blessed us with homemade burritos (as well as other breakfast items/snacks for the road).

It was a nice clean room that was quite and we'll maintained. The staff was hard to understand and there were cats everywhere outside the room, but overall it was a nice place to stay especially considering the price.

The owners are amazing, very friendly. They knew my flight was leaving before breakfast hours, and they got up early and made me a good hot breakfast to go. The Karbani Inn was a nice change from staying in chain hotels. I love to support small businesses.
