Nice visit
The owner was very nice and helped me find some more quirky things to find (the pelicans). They have renovated it so the google image is very old photo. The only thing i would suggest is a small table or ironing board so can play cards/games.

Very friendly management. Room was upgraded nicely. Only slight negative was using the TV. It was an internet-type, which made it difficult to find local news programs.

I can’t give enough praises
This place was great! I wish there were more of these small little places left. Easy access to the parking lot. Awesome rooms, very clean, had a great shower and a memory foam bed. I believe a husband and wife both live on site and run the place. She was super friendly at check-in. I would highly recommend for anybody.
