I’ve stayed here In the summer a couple times. It is very easy to get in and out and the rooms are clean. There is a nice breakfast spot next door. The people who run it are nice and accommodating. For the money it works great.

Last-minute booking. The area was nice—quiet and friendly, which I appreciated. However, I was surprised and disappointed to be charged an extra $40 for a late check-in. That detail wasn’t made clear up front, and it felt a bit unfair
