Perfect place! Great deal! No complaints!
The owners were so welcoming and the room was PERFECT. We had checked into another hotel and had an issue and had to find another place in immediately and booked the room and were inside and checked in 15 minutes later. The Calafia Inn was perfect!

The owners were very welcoming. The property had been nicely & thoughtfully upgraded recently.
Unfortunately, during the night, a very loud violent-sounding disturbance occurred in a room next to ours that went on for a couple of hours. Not the owners' fault, but not restful.
