I liked the easy check in process! Though wasn’t a real check in, the host just texted me the code to get in the room. The door wasn’t secure when we arrived so that was a little strange. Room was decorated nicely. Clean.

I love the check in process which was great when people are arriving at different times. The place is clean and super cute. We will definately stay here again. The doors could use some WD40 and the heater in my room needs some maintaince but other than that it was perfect.

The best "budget" hotel I've ever stayed at. It was clean, remodeled and had all amenities needed for a comfortable stay. There was even a little welcome present waiting for us upon arrival, some delicious local taffy.

quiet place to stay, bed is a little small for two people. Breakfast isn’t on site, you have to drive to a different place to eat and they only provide a voucher of $10.95 per person, you still need to pay what’s over and tips.
