This place is family owned and operated. According to the nephew, it went through a major renovation during the off season and they were still working on some things. I stayed in one of the single "deluxe" rooms. There was paint peeling off the ceiling and all my stuff was covered with dust and paint every day. That is why I gave the rating of 2 for cleanliness. Sezgin (owner), and his nephew, Denis, were great. Both speak English really well and great conversationalists. This is a great place to stay for the money. I enjoyed it and would stay there again if I ever return. It is a little hard to find if you are traveling by GPS. It is in a great location, close to the port and some good Turkish restaurants. My friend and I did Ephesus on our own, so if you are adventurous and not in a car, hire a taxi to the top of Ephesus, view the sights, and then hire another taxi at the bottom of the hill back to Kushadasi. Overall, a great trip!
