Check in was smooth and the host was pleasant. It has a great location. Coffee (complimentary) is available at all or most hours and the breakfast of fresh baked goods is decent. The grounds are well maintained and very pleasant. A nice, comfortable stay.

Angel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It smelled really moldy and I feel like I got sick because of the stinky moldy smell. I would request a refund and request the city to inspect it because it’s not healthy breathing mold
Hector, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I stayed in this property since it looks nice from outside. However, rooms look outdated, and property needs some renovation.
Erick Manuel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property grounds were beautiful and well kept. The rooms were nice, the bathroom was clean but it could use a revamp. Stayed here because it was close to The Observatory (went for a concert) and for the price I paid, I would 100% stay here again.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not easy to access on Friday Sat night

There homeless living in the parking lot, people wandering parking lot all night that are questionable, traffic from inn and out makes Friday Sat night traffic jams to get in, room is very dated. Mattress is good but pillows are worthless. Shower bathroom are very dated but work ok. Lot of noise from in out burger till 1am. Price dictates what you get.
Tim, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Too much noise from the next door. Body wash and shampoo only enough for one person, the room too dark and too small
NGUYEN, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place is perfect if you just need a place to sleep. Beware there’s no AC.
