Nice location but a bit rundown

Great in-town location but an unsightly view of the back of Wally’s. Spacious living area but why no window treatments in the kitchen and dining room? Lots of yard space but the gap in fencing is an escape route for pets. A little upkeep would go a long way. Staff is very friendly.

Could not be more convenient to everything downtown and completely as we expected in accommodations. Super clean, check in easy and everyone so nice. Was a very nice two days with 2 of our college age children and our dog. Thank you.
