A very no-frills stay for just myself on an overnight business trip. It was basically a clean room and bathroom. No extras but that's why it's inexpensive. If I was with another person, whether one of my kids, a girlfriend, etc, I wouldn't stay here. I can take the lack of elegance but I wouldn't ask someone else to.

This is our go-to place to stay whenever we’re in town. Check in is super easy, and the rooms are spacious and includes a fridge and microwave. They recently changed their policy for second vehicles is $10 but that makes sense because their parking is limited. For the location and room quality it’s definitely worth it!

It was a good room for the price. I liked that it was a non-smoking property, the room smelled fine. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was what it was; after all, I was looking for a cheap room. I would stay there again without hesitation.
