"I had a one night stay here on a quick trip, but I would definitely stay again. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. There was a refrigerator with actual top freezer (not like a normal hotel "freezer" inside a tiny refrigerator), a microwave, and a bar style table with stools--all of this would be perfect for a longer stay. There was a small lawn perfect to take my dog out. As a solo woman traveler, I look for properties that are safe and clean, and this one was great."
