“Overall excellent experience. Staff very friendly and helpful with information about hikes and things to do in the area. Great location too - the whole main drag is easy walking distance and we enjoyed walking to brunch daily. The rooms are dated, which I don’t mind at all, especially the vintage tile in the bathroom. The floors were absolutely filthy, so we avoided going barefoot and didn’t put our luggage down because of that. The window in the bathroom was also broken and wouldn’t shut all the way, which could be a security concern to some. Overall great value, great location, great staff. If you want a no-frills, inexpensive room in the area, it’s a great spot”
“Located directly( almost directly) in the center of town, walking distance from many fast foods, many convenient stores, amazing views, just walk out and see the world it seems. Cable, WiFi, fridge, Microwave spacious humongous beds, kept extensively tidy, on site security. Front desk and housekeeping friendly, kept to themselves, unless otherwise caught after. Very private spaces, comfortable as clouds. Recommend staying if you haven't or are passing through. Cheapest rate I think locally.”
“Staff is courteous and accomodating, rooms are very clean and quite, walking distance to multiple restaurants.”
