We stopped in here for dinner and it was DELIGHTFUL! From the aesthetic of the restaurant to the server to the food! Not one aspect of our meal was less than great! We both had the two meat combo with two sides. Brisket was tender and juicy, the pulled pork was very flavorful, burnt ends were worth the extra two bucks! If you are in the area, you gotta try the Red Shanty!

My friend and I attended IHOP's Prayer & Prophetic Conference this past Oct. 2012. It was amazing…read moreand life changing! For a few months we were looking at hotels around the area and for this and that reason, we could not decide. It was coming down to a few weeks before the conference and we didnt have a place to stay. I desperately googled housing near ihop and Paul & Djany's website www.Housingnearihop.com popped up! At first I did a double take because I thought, what are the odds...a good/clean/affordable place?! It turned out to be better than any hotel/motel we could have booked. Their website is very easy to navigate. I just filled out the booking form and Paul promptly replied the next day. Even before we met, Paul encouraged us via the emails that we were going to encounter God and be blessed :) I felt so encouraged and became even more excited for the conference. When we arrived, we walked into their very warm and cozy home. Our clean/beautifully decorated master bedroom welcomed us with chocolates/candies on the bed. The master bedroom has a bathroom attached, so it was very convenient. You are welcomed to use the kitchen- store your food in the fridge/cabinets and cook your meals. The house is very close to IHOP's main sanctuary (8 min drive), as well as the Prayer Room (5 min drive). You can even walk to the prayer room from their home and IHOP has shuttles that take you straight to the main sanctuary. The hosts Paul & Djany were absolutely amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Usually when I am away from home, I become home sick but I was at complete peace and was so blessed during our stay. They truly want to encourage & bless everyone that walks through their doors and oh how I felt the love of God through them. I'll never forget the wonderful time of prayer/praise/fellowship that we shared. I just knew God lead us to their home. I am so thankful to this beautiful couple and to all the wonderful friends we met during our stay. Love you guys!! We will be back soon! Save a room for us :D Love, Michelle :)

Djany and Paul were so accommodating! I spent three nights at their place. Although their place is…read moreextremely close to IHOP (25 minute walk), they were incredibly generous about picking me up and giving me rides to the prayer room. I was given a quiet room upstairs for a great price. Considering there are no hotels in the immediate area that charge as little as they do, I highly recommend Djany and Paul's place for housing near the IHOP prayer room. And lastly, their hospitality displays their deep love for Jesus and conveys their uncompromising hungry which is contagious for all those that get an opportunity to be in their presence. I look forward to coming back and spending more time with them!

I wanted to plan something a little different for my boyfriend's birthday this year, focusing more…read moreon the experience than the coolest gift that he would love. The Aida became part of the gift simply for how easy it was to book, the communication from the owners was quick and friendly, and it ended up being close to the theater we were seeing a show at! I booked this hotel thinking it would be like any other hotel. I was wrong on all accounts. The Aida gives you the comforts and peace of any hotel chain that cares about its guests but where the Aida stands out is the ease of booking, checking in, checking out, and communication I usually receive from a vacation rental. That's just the experience I had before we even checked in! Upon check in we were both delightfully surprised at the gorgeous historic building it actually was. Situated across the street from the Nelson-Atkins Museum of art and amongst other gorgeous historic buildings, our mini birthday vacation became more than we expected yet everything we wanted. Check in was contactless and a breeze. We found our room quickly and loved that it was a corner room with a little sitting area separated by a thick velvet curtain from the sleeping area. There were no closets but there were hanging rods we could easily hang our jackets and clothing if needed. The touch of local chocolate was nice and the postcard was as well. I love getting postcards from where we travel to, a small souvenir that takes little space in your luggage! The bathroom was clean and the shower head felt nice after a long day of gallivanting around town. We ended up just walking to the show that night and it was a pleasant evening to walk back. The next day we checked out just as easily as check in and spent more time around the city. We truly loved our stay here. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we woke up refreshed and knew we'd stay here again! I almost forgot to mention, not only was the inside of the hotel well kept but so was the garden and seating area outside. It's its own peaceful oasis under the trees!

We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor water slides, something you won't find hardly ever. We played putt putt golf after. The entire perimeter of the property is dedicated to fun activities for kids. You can tell it is family owned and they take pride in it. From the fully stocked pool towels, the spotless rooms, the clean fresh scent everywhere, and the well maintained facilities and amenities - nothing here has been allowed to slide. Everything is open longer than other hotels, the service is fast and friendly, outside is well lit and spotless. Chain hotels around here charge more, and offer much less. I highly recommend!

We were amazed at the beautiful house and how it was set up as a Bed & Breakfast! Mark and his wife, the owners, used to live in the house but decided to change it into a nice getaway for guests. The house in the front has the largest room, but expect to walk upstairs, as that is where the bedroom is. The guests from the other three private apartment rooms stay behind the large house; they all meet in the big house (no pun intended) to have Mark's hot, homemade breakfast. Oh, I almost forgot! The house is so clean, I didn't find any old dirt in the corners of the floor, against the walls anywhere. I am semi-OCD and will not go without house slippers. Well, I walked barefoot in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I'm sorry if that is TMI. I wanted you to understand my point. Do not hesitate to book; do not let the name keep you away. It is not set up like a jail on the inside. The house has history, and Mark will tell you about it during breakfast or upon check-in. Don't hesitate! Book today! You will not be disappointed.
