Joan's place was decorated for the 4th of July when I was there. Stars and stripes everywhere! The bed was comfy and there was a good place for my luggage and a light on the bedside table. I picked it because it was close to my friend's house but discovered it's close to Broadway which has a Starbucks, grocery store, and brewery. She has a friendly dog which is well trained and mostly hangs out in a room with her.
