They came out when they said they would and cleaned the roof and gutters and applied moss barrier. We are very pleased with Bonn Roof Care and plan to use them again next year!

New hotel! Our first time staying at this hotel and we had the BEST stay! 🏨✨ Our room was very spacious and the amenities were great. Having a gym and laundry facilities was definitely a plus! 🙌🏼 We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again! ❤️

Tori is AMAZING
We had an amazing experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our waitress, Tori! We had a LARGE party with several kids and some goofy, silly adults, and she handled all of us like an absolute champ! 😂❤️ Tori was so friendly, patient, and engaging with everyone at the table. She didn’t just take our order and walk away—she genuinely interacted with us, made us feel welcome, and kept up with our big, lively group with such a wonderful attitude. Serving a large party is no easy task, especially when kids and playful adults are involved, but she made the entire experience enjoyable! It’s not every day you come across someone who can handle a crowd like ours while still making everyone feel special. Tori truly went above and beyond, and she deserves recognition for the incredible job she did. If we come back, we would absolutely love to have her as our waitress again! Thank you, Tori, for making our experience so memorable! You are amazing at what you do! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As first time home buyers, Alex did an exceptional job guiding us through the process and helping us find the right home for our family. Knowledgeable, straightforward, and honest, he made the whole process easy as can be. I cannot recommend working with the him enough.
