This was a great little place for my boyfriend and I for spring break! It’s right in the downtown and everywhere we wanted to go was walking distance. The owners were very nice and replied very efficiently, very accommodating with letting us park in the lot even though we arrived early for our reservation, and letting us add on a late checkout. It was nothing fancy but was clean, affordable, and worked perfectly for what we needed at a good price!
