We really love this spot, it’s in a perfect place for a good price. They take such good care of the property, and it has everything you need. Even a fire pit and a little dog park. The surrounding area is amazing and there’s so much to do. Don’t forget the Botanical Gardens. The staff here is lovely and the owner is really kind 💛. We will be back.

Clean. Room was ready early. Wonderful towels and crisp linen. Touch-ups needed for holes in the walls and grout moldy. And the heater made a very loud noise. But considering the price these were all minor hiccups. Staff was not knowledgeable about the area or attractions nearby which was very surprising being a tourist area. We got more information from locals at the gas station.
