We came into town all the way from deep south Texas! Not only were his instructions easy to navigate but he also did allowed us to check in a bit earlier and we were thankful for that. When you live all the way down here, travel takes up a majority of your day, and even though it was a short getaway for us, it was the smallest gesture we were appreciative for. His place was even better in person! There is a cute covered patio area to sit and drink coffee when that daylight breaks. He provided us with a list of amazing restaurants near by and for a Texan girl only use to Mexican cuisine, I have to recommend Hat yai! omg amazing food and all the people were so sweet and friendly! We also visited a food truck park near by that had a great selection of foods. Again short trip but with all that summer light nature provided we were up at 4 every morning, asleep by 10. We drove from Portlandto Seattle (worth the drive) then down to Salem to see our fellow Ironmen competitors. I will definitely visit again and stay with u!
