Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Love the family that owns the place. Very family oriented energy. They are very kind and humble. They will work with you and help in any way if they are able to . Regarding the rooms,they have been putting forth effort to upgrade each room one by one. I know majority of rooms do have new hardwood style plank floors also rooms have been freshly painted with new colors including an accent wall to brighten the rooms. I consider the family/ owners very close friends, therefore i am taking notes all reviews even the old ones so I can help them to estab.ish their business. Theyreally do their best to continue upgrades in order to provide a clean, safe, and comfortable stay for all.. New lamp shades is definitely a must. Lol”
