This hotel is an excellent value in comparison to other hotels in the area. I actually checked out of another hotel once I compared to this one. Room was clean, plumbing was excellent, room had been recently remodeled and staff was excellent!

This was a last-minute booking. June 4th 2022. The restaurant was a little short on supplies, but we still had a good dinner. The room was clean and comfortable. In the morning I always have 2 coffees, then take an orange juice back to my wife. The breakfast lady, Shelly, took care of the oj for me, at breakfast she took care of all or needs. The gave us a few homemade cookies to take with us. We will stay here again Fred Roberts

Hotel staff super friendly, hotel common areas & rooms very clean & quiet. Beds comfortable. AC stayed on all night without any issues. Breakfast delicious with several options. Staff was helpful in switching my room to one much closer to the one the placed my elderly father in so I could more easily assist him as needed. Will definitely stay here again when visiting my son nearby.

Dump and Smells

Reviewed By JMA2Y

Avoid. Rooms smell of cigarettes and beer. Stale isn't the word. Bathrooms not clean, moldy, dusty; shower and tub not cleaned. Ceilings cracked, sagging, floor sags around toilet. It's a dump. Avoid. $99 per room per night not worth it.
