"We needed a place to stay overnight before crossing the border, ended up here because it was a better price than local hotels which we usually stay at. Was very happy with our stay and the setup. The two rooms worked out perfectly for us and our kids. Check in was easy, especially since we arrived after dark. The casita is in a nice neighborhood with plenty of easy street parking.
