2 week stay

The place was old, but clean. Owners were very nice, but couldn't get the WiFI to work half way through my stay. That would be the only reason for me not to go back there.

Thought this would be not great because prove was cheap… I was wrong. Plenty of space and very clean! On second night we pulled in and one minute later the front desk guy walked out fresh towels to my room! I had not asked for anything. Is everything perfect? No, but it’s very usable, very clean, and I didn’t feel unsafe. AC was in when we arrived, no issues with keeping it cool!! Shower has lots of room too!

Quiet little place with very friendly staff

Clean and nice quiet place. Was a bit worried as I was asked for my drivers license and my DL# was written down. Normally not a good sign. But no issues and very quiet. Bed was very comfortable. Only issue I had with my room was that the heat did not work. It was 51 degrees that morning so it was a little chill. Note to staff. Room 28

What A Dump!

Booked online because the reviews were good. Learned later from some locals that people who wrote the reviews were confusing this dump with another hotel in town. We pulled up and didn't even want to get out of the car. It looked and even felt dirty just to be in the office. Clerk did not speak English and locked door behind us when we entered office. Needless to say, when he unlocked it we hightailed it out of there.

The property was in good condition. The staff went above their duty to make my stay enjoyable. I unknowingly dropped my room key at Wendy's and the staff opened the door to let my wife stay in the room while I went to look for it.
