Older hotel with decent updates and cleanliness. Sheets and pillows are cheap, but you get what you pay for. The doors need deadbolts/interior locks. I really liked the location, multiple coffee shops and restaurants a nearby. Overall worth the budget friendly stay and I’d stay there again!

No free Breakfast Also we wanted to enjoy the late night fresh air so we opened the windows. Someone put a lawn sprinkler next to the open window and got the interior of the room all wet. We stayed in Cabin 5. Overall great stay and would love to stay again!

A cute little place to stay the night. A nice little hot pool on property. Wish we would’ve had more time to enjoy the amenities or actually use the kitchen. I did find it weird that if you used the kitchen, they would want you to wash the dishes before you left. That makes me question if they ever get sanitized between guests or if we are just relying on the person before us doing a good job washing them?

Grouchy front desk lady. No housekeeping whatsoever. You have to take your towels to front desk to do an exchange. No assigned parking and really difficult to find a parking spot. Pool was dirty and lots of people drinking and smoking even though they are not supposed to. Not a very friendly town.
