"Needed a comfortable place for me and me two senior parents. This was the perfect spot and much nicer, cleaner and more economical than a hotel. Greeter in person by the owners who were also next door if we had questions. The fresh cut flowers were a beautiful addition. Thanks Randy and Connie! We will definitely be back!"
