area was clean and good location. everyone was nice. main concern is the noise. you can hear everything through the walls: the motorcycles, people talking, dogs barking. even with ear plugs that they have provided.

Our stay at the Backyard Inn was nothing short of a nightmare. The experience felt like actually sleeping outside with the chickens. The pod smelled of chicken waste, the sink didn’t drain, and the noise was unbearable—constant chicken noises, roosters crowing, and no peace or quiet to rest. We couldn’t wait to leave. The only saving grace was the staff, who were friendly and helpful, but that does not make up for the dreadful conditions. I would never stay here again. Avoid this place unless you’re prepared for a farmyard disaster.
