Ok for the price just barely.

Place was clean but very out dated. Matress was good. Had refrigerator and microwave but no coffee pot. One building was shady looking probably local monthly rentals. If they put us in that one we would not have stayed there. The one we stayed in was ok. No big towels or kleenex.

This is a simple and old location it was clean and beds were ok with fridge and microwave. The price was low 79$compared to other locations 150 during leaf peeping. People who are used to things going their way may not like it. this is not a location for a KAREN type. Location boring unless you plan on Visiting Samuel Clemons grave. The pictures are nicer then reality. Would I stay again sure.
