Travel Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Theater • Game Room • Gym • Firepit • 4BR Home

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful and relaxing stay, and we were able to get some much-needed rest. The place was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The only thing I noticed is that it takes a while for the shower to get hot, and the hot water runs out pretty quickly. But overall, it was a great stay. We only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it even more! We’d definitely love to come back for a longer stay next time. ❤️"

"House was overall clean but had a musty cat smell. Host responded quickly when we didn’t receive check-in instructions. Parking was street parking so could get full in the evenings. Very nice kitchen! Lots of space for the price!"

"The apartment was excellent. Clean and well stocked for our stay. Everything we could have needed was already there. Close enough to the city but in a residential area that was safe and quiet. We will definitely keep this one bookmarked for the future."

Charming 2-bedroom house in Maywood with WiFi, AC full basement with sofa bed

8/10 Good

"Overall this was a decent property. Property does need a little TLC however. The sink in the 2nd bathroom was not working and the sink itself was damaged. It was raining while we were there and we woke up to water dripping from the ceiling of the upstairs bathroom and standing water in the basement. We ended up leaving a day early."
