Love this place! Comfy room, AC works great, everything is very clean, cute spot. I love the corn hole setup out front. Really wished we could have stayed longer - staff is SUPER friendly. We came to visit our son who is working nearby at French Woods. Edit: back for a second year and the place is still awesome! I am consistently amazed by how friendly the entire staff is. Keep up the good work!

I showed up around 1:30am (so a late booking). The check-in was still all good this late. I would just suggest calling beforehand for late check-ins. Great place. Great price. And perfect for the night stay I needed.
