"Great service"

Adventure Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The property accidentally overbooked. The owner personally came out to apologize and also gave me a ride after calling the closest hotel that I assume is an affiliate and getting me another room. At the same time, he was very nice and telling me to come back and have their breakfast, which was much better than the other hotels. If you’re looking for a place with good breakfast to start your trip or to hold you through your entire trip this is the place."
