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.

Chris

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and I really need to find out what sheets they use because they are super high quality! It was very cozy and we had the Little Jo room towards the back which was great because we took the steak on the barbecues that were there and hung out under the little pergola in the new chairs. Then we proceeded to go down to the market and get some firewood to have a little bonfire in the back! It was fantastic and was definitely the best time we've ever had staying in a hotel. We also thought it was neat about the self check-in feature as it was super easy and didn't have to deal with any people at a desk or any lines. Two thumbs up 10 out of 10!

Nice place. Cute decor, clean room, comfortable bed. Sliding bathroom door a little hard to move at times. Not a huge room but more than enough room for us.
