The room was extremely clean, the bed very comfortable, the linens provided were great and the coffee products were wonderful. The air conditioning unit worked fantastic, which we really needed. I would definitely stay here again. The owners were accommodating to my early check-in needs, thoughtful, and very helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Online it looked like the place had been recently renovated and very nice. Although, it had been renovated some, our room wasn’t the cleanest. The bed sheets were okay. The comforters old, I never use those anyways. The thing that grossed me out the most is that behind the night stand there remnants of weed and safety glasses, making me wonder more about the place. I noticed this when I went to pull it out to access the outlet. There was also canned food in one of drawers that I didn’t notice until much later. We didn’t have much of a choice to stay because we had already paid for it and didn’t have other options. The owner said to my spouse at check in that he recently received ownership of the place and it had been trashed prior. I could give him a little grace for that, but he needs to do much better job if his business is going to be successful.

Jeff and Naomi were great to deal with. Room two was very noisy there is something mechanical going on in the ceiling that sounds like metal expanding against wood about every 45 mins hard to sleep. It’s old and needs an upgrade but it was clean and good for a short stay.
