The good: the bed was comfortable (I want the bed frame), the room is very nice, the house nice, the neighborhood safe, and Ethel seems like a very nice person.
The place was convenient and cheaper than a hotel.

If it had been like $20-30 cheaper I probably would have ignored the cons below, but at $69 before taxes which push it up to almost $90 total, yeah, here is the negative.

The bad: first, I don't know what the internet was, I just managed to maybe pirate some neighbor's and use 4g.
Also, no light breakfast or tea was mentioned, not that I was holding my breath, but it is listed in the description, and I would've loved it.

However, the MAJOR problem was the noise -- and I didn't confront her about it and kept quiet when she asked while I was there because I just didn't want to get in the middle of whatever is going on between her and her daughter; maybe that was passive aggressive or maybe it was just that I was a tired traveler passing through. (I am sorry Ethel, it sounds like some stuff is going on, but you and I both know that it wasn't cool while I was there. Your asking me was BS. You knew it was a problem.)

TVs were on and at least one was fairly loud.
But the bigger thing was the family drama I just mentioned.
I heard her yelling fairly frequently and at some point someone else came in, sounded like a male voice who was maybe drunk, who came into the house briefly and left.
Mostly, it was Ethel yelling at her grandson often about his mother upstairs so that the she (and I) could hear her; and this is just what I heard between songs at one point.
I had my headphones on all evening to drown it out but caught stuff between songs and at least once or twice over my music.

In the end, I wish I had stayed at the hotel for about 40% more, slightly more conveniently located, with room service.

And I wouldn't be obligated to write this long review.

At $69 (with cleaning fee) and like $87 after it was all said and done, I can't recommend staying here unless you are in a jam as I was (I had forgotten to book a stay and unwilling to pay $150ish or more).

I'm giving 3 stars because I wouldn't tell someone not to stay there, I just wouldn't recommend it.

That said, I expect Ethel, who is a smart lady, will probably not let this happen again.
