Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was quite small (no closet) but very clean and comfortable. Mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker were appreciated. Lovely grounds as well. We stayed two nights and would have appreciated clean towels the second night, but overall a good place to stay and convenient for what we needed.

Adorable Cottages

These are comfortable and quaint cottages set in a residential area with great lanscaping. Its like being in your own little cottage. It is relatively newly renovated and it is clean! We love it here and would definitely stay again when visiting family. Its a gem!

Convenient easy place to stay. No frills but clean. Sometimes a little too heavy on the cleaning products. Staff couldn’t be nicer.

Loved the mini fridge that included a freezer. Only downside is the office is irregularly staffed. Bed was comfy and bathroom had a walk in shower rather than a tub, which was a major plus for me.

Would not recommend.

My wife and I were disappointed in our stay. The man in the office was not very welcoming. The office was rather disheveled. There were all kinds of tools piled up behind the counter. Ot was just untidy. The room was meh. The mattress was very flat and in needs to be replaced. The pillows were lumpy and seemed beyond there usefulness also. When we laid in bed and looked up at the lamps above the bed they were very dusty and there were cobwebs on them. The bathroom was clean and met our expectations.
