Place was very nice and clean, the front desk guy Id assume is the owner was very nice, wish the hallway lights were mor
Pros:

Rooms were cute, decent for someone who wasn’t staying in the room except to sleep

Cons:

Hallway light shines right into the room all night long, you can hear everyone walking by, and with it being hot and wanted the ac unit all the way up there isn’t enough heavy blanket on the bed to sleep comfortably, no extra chair in the room to seat besides on the bed

Great for the price
Pros:

The room was very clean and recently renovated.

Cons:

My only complaint, which is more of a personal preference, I don't feel like the AC got cold enough. I like sleeping with a very cold room and it was 90+ degrees that day and we were on the third floor.

Fun and relaxing a great way to bond with my granddaughter.
Pros:

The location was perfect. The room was small but manageable ESPECIALLY if you put a rod in the closet and hangers and hooks. I loved the bathroom. The establishment was very clean and felt cozy and safe.

Cons:

just the closet situation, easy for your staff to resolve.
