Staff was friendly and helpful. Extremely clean room and bathroom. This sounds silly to some but an actual usable bar of body soap that lathered on the washcloth! The bottles of water in fridge were greatly appreciated. Quiet area which was nice. Room did not reek of weed or cigarettes!

Check in was smooth and right on time. The Lady at the desk came in just before 3 as stated. She offered good advice on travel in the area. The room was clean, in really good shape. Two cold bottles of water in the refrigerator in the room along with a breakfast basket. Bed was comfortable, the area was quiet, the shower was nice. Chair out front to sit on the porch.A nice step back in time.
