I’ve stayed here In the summer a couple times. It is very easy to get in and out and the rooms are clean. There is a nice breakfast spot next door. The people who run it are nice and accommodating. For the money it works great.

Last-minute booking. The area was nice—quiet and friendly, which I appreciated. However, I was surprised and disappointed to be charged an extra $40 for a late check-in. That detail wasn’t made clear up front, and it felt a bit unfair

The rooms were very nice. The owners were even nicer. It was about a block to walk to pizza for dinner and a cafe for breakfast, both of which had great food. It was the last night of a ten day/nine night road trip, and it one of the nicest places we stayed, and for a reasonable price. Do recommend.
