Comfortable bed and good shower. Some updates in room. Musty and stinky odor in room made it very difficult to sleep. Pricey and no breakfast. Would not stay here again.

Not for us.

If you are not fussy about room to move around in and just a bed…it would be ok. Bathroom was completely unacceptable! Surprisingly quiet at night being right on a busy corner. We stayed 1 night, cancelled for our return trip.

Great room

This was our first time in this area. When you first open the door your a bit worried, but we had nothing to worry about. The room was clean and cozy. When we went to sleep that night and the next it was so quite and peaceful. The curtains made the room dark that you slept so good. The other people staying there were also friendly. We left our car at the hotel and walked everywhere. Very nice town. The owner was very helpful and polite. It was a very nice visit. N

Small rooms

If all you need is a place to stop for the night this is OK. Check in easy but the rooms are tiny and the beds are hard as rocks. Feel it is overpriced but we didn’t have a choice due to last minute changes.

Very convenient location for walking to restaurants and shops. Staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Our AC wasn’t working properly right when we first unloaded the car and we were immediately upgraded to another room. The manager had the unit fixed before we had finished moving but he said to stay in the other room for the inconvenience. The pool area was pretty! Bed was comfortable, area very quiet at night. We would stay again.

We would go back and stay again

Amazing this is one of the best places we have ever stayed. The owners were so nice. Anything we needed they was so helpful. We had our truck and a trailer that we needed to park so we could ride our trike on the mountain roads. They were so nice to let us have a place to park our truck and trailer. It was a very clean room. We would go back and stay there again.
