A friend and I came down for a 9 day fishing trip. We were literally "fish out of water". The staff treated us like family and were extremely friendly. They would give us tips on where to try and catch bait and fish. They accommodated us at every turn we needed with towels, wash rags, etc. They would even tell us "welcome home" after a long day out on the water. Definitely worth the rate and the memories will last a lifetime. Kind of bummed I didn't get a chance to help with the puzzle in the lobby. We will be back.

They're quick to place you on the top floor. Very quick to do so. And for it to be a long-term stay place, especially for people who work out of town, the price is very reasonable but there's not a single elevator. For long-term stay people who carry a lot of stuff, the stairs are the worst part.

Clean, safety didn't appear to be an issue here, and no bugs. Bed was comfortable. It was extremely hot this week and the air in my room worked great! Priced very reasonable! I will stay there again when in the area.

We love the friendly and welcoming atmosphere! The beds and bathrooms are super clean. The rooms are a very comfortable size. It’s an inn with character. The windows aren’t huge, but that helps keep it dark for sleeping. It’s quiet with great parking.

Great little place! Reasonably priced. The rooms and bathrooms are good size. They also had a nice little breakfast in the morning. Owner went above and beyond. Our car broke down and he was nice enough to provide a ride to town to get a tool we needed. Just a really nice place and people!
