They have a great bar, restaurant, the seating is quite nice ( romantic even ). The rooms are just basic, but every room has a nice balcony, or terrace, and the price is right, at keast it was a few years ago.
The only drawback that I recall was no ac, maybe that has changed.

This place I have been eye balling. Might be able to pull a early summer trip off this year!! (nothing official yet) But hey, its a start of a possible trip. Got get the ducks in a row, to make it happen. We do like to do local style ways. Yea, don't see much hype about Mom's Place either. Saw a few reviews on TA, that's all.

Vince. I sure hope you make that work, I know you have been '' chomping at the bit '' to go..lol.. I think Moms place would be right up your alley, local family owned,
very quiet, nice vibe. I go there at least once a trip to say hi to everyone, and have dinner !

Prices reasonable? I was looking into Dorland's Inn also.

Well, it's been a few years, I think I remember around 60 bucks a night, in low season.... I heard good thing about Donaldsons as well, but have never been.

I checked them out 2 years ago, rooms are nice, way up by NEGRIL PALMS if I remember right.... they wanted 120$ / night then..

Just curious, wonder why there name isn't on the "hotels" list. No big deal, just wondering

Vince, not sure about that, very small place, been around forever, so maybe just do not advertise, if you check out all the reviews om TA, they are all mostly very positive...
probably get a lot of repeat business. I can say I had no complaints the times I stayed there.

Mom's and Donaldson's are old time family properties that tend to keep a lower profile. They don't advertise much or at all and seem to prefer it that way.

Lisa, that's what I kinda figured. Looks like MAYBE we might be planning a summer trip to see ya'll!!! HECK YEA!!-Just waiting on something to pan out. Then that button WILL BE PUSHED!!!!!- Miss ya'll guy's!
