My visit was short but I found my room,Lil Jo's Bunkhouse, just as pictured. It was very clean and the bath was well stocked with clean towels and amenities. Though I did not use the patio with grill,I could see it was well equipped with all the grilling essentials. I arrived late and had no problem accessing my room with the supplied door code. The Inn is set back off the main street and was quiet. I would definitely stay there again.

Easy to find and access our room via a door code. We never interacted with staff. Comfortable bed, great shower, and plenty of space. However, the walls are a bit thin which meant we could hear our neighbors.
