"We had a wonderful time in our bed and breakfast! Pat the owner was very pleasant and the breakfast was great! Every morning she made breakfast and it did not disappoint.

"We love the Brown! We had a great time there and would highly recommend this lovely hotel! The area around the hotel is sketchy and you have to be careful. Have been there many times and plan to return many more!"

"I was told the hotel was sold. There was no name or sign on this hotel whatsoever. How can you have a hotel with no name to let people know where you are at. The guy who checked me in was very nice and trying hard to do well by everybody, but I thought I was being punked. Stayed two days and never had anybody make a bed, leave clean towels, clean up or do anything. I'm really not that picky but this was unreal. Seemed so understaffed. I really should get a refund from this place it was so bad."
