in the reviews i noticed several complaints - “the foyer smells” it does, it smells of chinese cooking, but when you go upstairs (where the guest rooms are) i couldn’t smell anything, so don’t let the first impression throw you. “mandy doesn’t speak english” nope, she does not. but if you have a smart phone, download google translate and type in yes/no questions, problem solved. and it wouldn’t hurt for folks to learn a little chinese!
mandy was very nice, welcoming and her guest rooms, while a hodgepodge of 70’s decor, were better than average - the bed was the best i’ve slept on in ages (i want that mattress!), the bedding was cozy, the sitting area was a nice touch and the shower was powerful. in the morning i was in something of a hurry, so i passed on breakfast, but i thought it was really nice that mandy offered something.
it was also super convenient to the airport.
if you know what to expect, you’ll be pleasantly surprised, i was, and i’d stay with them again in a heartbeat.
