All the comforts of home!

My son and I stayed here (at Mary’s) while we toured an area college. This place was easy to find and had all the comforts of home. It was also very clean and maintained. It was really nice to unwind in the living room after a busy day; there’s more space here than any hotel room could offer. We slept well and enjoyed our stay. Recommended!
