The rooms was very clean and updated. The property is well-maintained. The owners are friendly and helpful.
The pull out sleep sofa is not the most comfortable but was ok for a couple of nights.

Lived up to expectations
Room was updated, but small. Location is quiet and felt safe. Chose this location based on price relative to others in the area and positive reviews. It lived up to my expectations. The only issue i had was choice of footboard on the bed. It had a pointy corner hidden under the bedspread. We both cracked a shin on it multiple times.

Nice and clean rooms and well maintained property. Only downside was the sofa bed where you could feel every spring in the “mattress”. Daughter ended up sleeping on the floor on top of the sofa cushions.

Great location, very clean, spacious room and living room area. Room was a bit chilly when we arrived as heat was not on, but we warmed it up while we went out to dinner.
