This property was very cute and quiet, but the property claimed to have WiFi and TV, but neither of these worked. The TVs were down in both rooms I booked. The WiFi also didn’t work which was unfortunate. Otherwise this property is in a great area and the check in check out process is simple.

Have stayed here ~5-6 times over past 8-10 years. Management & staff seem always different and increasingly incompetent. Conditions have deteriorated each succeeding year. Finally, I cannot see any reason to accept this property in the future.
