    We loved everything about our stay at Selena and Kevin’s Home! Both of them were so curtious and understanding when we needed something, and even took the time to label each cabinet around the home so we knew exactly where everything was. The home itself is stunning and looks brand new. All in all we had a great time at this Home and will suggest it to all our friends who visit the area in the future.…

    This hotel was close to the wedding we attended and provided a simple breakfast with okay coffee. The price was okay for this area. The bed was very hard, the rugs really needed to be cleaned, and the bath tub needed a good bleaching. Once again staff was okay, but not exceptional. This was our first time at a Comfort Inn and we were not impressed, so it may be our last.…
