Acceptable Stay
helpful daughter central location missed breakfast unstocked room
Rod and his daughter were very helpful. The hotel is near many shops in the center and a short walk from the free parking lot.
My room was not cleaned . I missed breakfast because of my work schedule, so it was unfortunate the room wasn't restocked either.

great location cute host en-suite shower small room missed breakfast no cleaning
The location was AMAZING!!! Buses stopped just around the corner. Andy, the host, greeted me warmly and offered tips about local attractions on both sunny and rainy days. My room included an en-suite shower and tea and coffee facilities.
My single en-suite room felt quite small. it was equipped with everything I needed. I left early each morning at 8 am for work and missed the 8:30 am breakfast. The room received no cleaning or restocking during my three-day stay.
