Awesome place to stay
This is a beautiful property. Rooms are very spacious and incredibly well appointed. The entire property is very clean. Owner and manager clearly care. We had a great one night stay here. Had it not been for the ongoing party across the street this would have been an excellent stay, but that is no fault of the property. Would certainly stay here again!
