The room was good and I would stay there again. Unfortunately the restaurant attached to this property was closed. I had a small dog and it was hard to find walking spots because it was next to the highway.

There were a lot of motorcycles nearby and we didn't hear them pull up while we were sleeping. The room was nice and clean with lots of towels. The nice lady who answered the phone had no issues accommodating our late arrival. Check in and out were easy. We had a very pleasant sleep. Highly recommend.

For the through traveler, this was very convenient and reasonable. Room up to date and clean, bed comfy, WiFi fine. Manager pleasant and helpful. Sadly, the handy restaurant on site was closed that evening, which was disappointing. Busy road and run-down building next door a bit of a negative, but all in all, a good stay.

Dreadful place. My room was an addition to what looked like an abandoned crack house. Floor was dirty beyond belief. Lipstick on a pig. Sign saying resturant closed today had probably been up for years. No reception, or reception desk, just a phone # to call. Look for another place.
