The owners are extremely helpful & accomodating. Our room is tidy & clean. A bit dated, but priced accordingly and ... let's face it, I'm here to sleep.

Very quiet, economical and clean accommodations and friendly staff. Small cozy room with a decent size bathroom. Very fluffy white towels were a big plus.

Travelling with friends/family and we were a little perturbed that the room keys worked on each other's doors but the dead bolt that we didn't get a key for kept us secure for the night. The rooms are a little dated but eveything was clean and worked fine.
