The hotel is very clean, updated with modern fixtures (excellent shower!), comfortable bed and the manager is very helpful. The rooms are smaller, as was customary when it was built, but this is one of the best remodels I've ever seen of motels from that era. Also, a huge TV! The heater/air conditioner is loud, but if you can get past that, you'll have a clean, pleasant and affordable stay.

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!
