The location was absolutely perfect for all of our needs. We were able to walk to everything we needed. Didn’t have any issues getting in or out of the building. Communication about check-in and checkout was very easy and simple.
Room itself is super basic but cute. Parking was a little difficult at busy times but we found spots.

Very comfortable place to stay. Easy to get around to all events. The only thing i would change is the thickness of mattress was a bit hard on my old back. Would definitely book again
This was a simple stay, as we were in town for state wrestling. It’s a small room with many accommodations. It says it sleeps 3 but I disagree and say it sleeps 2. Check in was easy. Communication with host was great. The only things I would negatively comment about are: bathroom had some hairs in the shower and no shampoo (not an issue for me because I brought my own). The dryer was confusing, as to how to dry the clothes I washed. There was no dishwashing soap. There was tablets for the dishwasher but I wanted to clean the bowls after eating. Again…not huge things just things. I’d stay here again.
