The building was old but clean with a microwave and refrigerator. Our door knob was loose. The owner I guess was strict with the checked out. But the location was convenient.

The room was very clean and worth the charged rate. I was arriving late and I understand that this small business is managed by the owner but found it cumbersome having to call multiple times to confirm my arrival time. Perhaps just send a message pettiest know that if the office is not open to call a number to get staff for late check ins? It would have allowed me to enjoy my vacation day more
