"A wonderful and very unique stay. Priya is a superb host. Nothing is too much trouble and she really makes you feel at home. Lovely little touches in the bedroom to welcome you are greatly appreciated. The beds are super comfy - bathroom and shower are pristine and the breakfast is amazing, with a choice of cereal, fresh fruit, juice, muffins, pastries, jams/jellies, and coffee/tea. We had a fabulous time and highly recommend Priya and her lovely home."

10/10 Excellent
"My stay there was fantastic. First off, when I went to check in the staff was so pleasant and helpful. I really felt welcomed that I was there. They did everything I asked to them. They stocked a refrigerator with small pints of milk and juice, boxes of apple and orange juice. That was quite helpful. The room could use a fresh coat of paint and dressed up a bit was clean and comfortable. The shower and bathroom facilities were in good condition. The showerhead worked fantastic. Thatโ€™s very difficult to keep up in this area due to its extremely hard water. The area around the hotel room was really quite beautiful and The areas around the room were well maintained. The parking was great. Lots of room for bigger vehicles. Also the microwave and the refrigerator were more than adequate. Not to mention clean for the price. You cannot go wrong stain here. The only problem I had is I checked in at night and the roads going to the hotel were small. What they need is a couple of signs on the road to indicate to turn here for the northern Queen Inn. Also, they are right in the middle of finishing up a restaurant right on the property. That will be quite a convenience for people who stay there. Also, for you people traveling with pets, they are quite friendly towards them and you can let them stay with you. Iโ€™m sure there will be a cleaning deposit. You will have to pay for this though."
