Awesome Art and Valley Views!

I thought the staff was really friendly and helpful. The owners were also very lovely to me. They helped with any issues I experienced. There was a live band playing on Saturday, which I found pretty cool.
I noticed the room and bathroom could be a bit cleaner. It was a minor issue. I hope they can improve it
