The lady at the front desk was funny, energetic and very fun to deal with! The room was clean, and had been renovated lately. Even with the AC on, it was a bit humid, but this was during a very hot week, so that might be why. A good stay, with a very nice view!!

For one of the few accomodation options in the area, it was clean and quiet so that was a plus. The "Reserve now, pay later" was not applicable as they charged for the room 3 days prior to arriving. So where it tells you that you can pay at the accomodation upon arrival, this is not correct. They will charge your card before you arrive.

The owners were very nice. Despite telling Expedia on the phone they would not charge a fee for service dog, they did. That said, they were helpful. I can tell they are working hard to improve the property, so there are pails of tar around, along with other supplies that could be a hazard, but that’s temporary. The views are stunning. Our room was very well furnished with an unusually comfortable bed. It was a very good sleep. I’d go back for sure.
