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.

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.

It was dirty. The bedding had stains on them from not being washed. The floors were dirty. There was red drips on the wall near the bathroom sink. Just overall not clean at all.
