“Close to Vernon's core, it stands out as a comfortable, non-chain alternative with apartment-style rooms, complete with fully stocked kitchenettes for longer stays. The '50s-era appliances add a touch of nostalgia, while the well-maintained environment and cozy beds promise a restful experience. It gives off the feeling of staying in a relative's cottage.”
