“Very clean, nicely priced rooms. Not extreme luxury but definitely great for the price. No bed bugs, actually I haven’t seen any bugs at all. The man at front is super friendly. Housekeeping is super friendly. Shower has plenty of pressure and water is always hot. Have stayed numerous times and no complaints.”

“This is actually a real review... I have family in Buena that I come and see every year and stay a week. I have ALWAYS had a room here for the last 5 years and have NEVER had a problem. Quiet, clean, and staff is great. Price is AWESOME! Plan on going back in July!!! Thank you for the many years of great service!”
