Restful night

It was just for one night to rest before traveling home the next after visiting family on Saturday. Very comfortable room with a microwave and refrigerator. I have stayed there before and would most definitely stay again.

Great pitstop

Had a quick stop on the way to a hiking trip on the coast. We arrived late (a touch after 9), but the host was very good at communicating, and called personally to help with late check in instructions. We arrived to a very clean, pleasant room with a comfy bed. I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again next time we're in the area.

I gave excellent even though they have construction zone. They had a fire last DEC and lost 1 entire building. Can't give low stars for that. If one does, they are heartless Will stay again if the opportunity arises.
