Nice find for the price!

The hostess Rene was very friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and clean, with comfortable bed and linens. I was pleasantly surprised that I had my own toilet. It was nice to have access to the kitchen and living room.

Horrible horrible treatment. I asked to stay another night, they rejected my stay and threw my items out to the street. When I entered the lobby to get my things, they threatened me with aggressive behavior. Unsafe hotel that should not be on Expedia.

I had to arrive late. Didn’t receive check in email as indicated on reservation instructions. The phone number doesn’t work and when I contacted Expedia Jays Ranch called me told me to call when I arrived. They didn’t answer my call. I sat outside on a dark street at 1030pm and waited for 15 mins. I finally left and had to find a place to sleep. They won’t give me a refund. Very bad. Don’t go there!

Not what I was expecting. Inside seemed sort of nice but outside was unkempt. A room with private bath in someone's house, not what I would consider a ranch or bed and breakfast. I don't like last minute changes. Please post rules of house in the listing: Required photos of drivers licenses of all parties. Parking on the street. No shoes in the house. I guess for the price I should have known better. Didn't like the vibe. We decided to just leave immediately, find a better place, and lose our "non-refundable" payment.
