#### Efficient

My son and I stayed there and were pleased with the location of the property as it was in close proximity to our job location. The place was quaint and quiet and I slept very well. The bed was super comfy but the best part of my stay was the SHOWER! The pressure was very awesome! The owner was very prompt in answering any questions or concerns that arose. Book here! You will not regret it!
