Hotel used to be a Holiday Inn, which has a new property across the street. The building does show signs of its age. While the room was clean, the decor and carpet seemed to be original, maybe repainted. But the price was the best in the area, ideal for a quick break overnight. Breakfast was good.

The room was comfortable, the shower needed repairs but still workable. The staff were amazing and attentive. We were staying for a family funeral and it was easily accessible to church, funeral home and family. We would stay again when seeing family in area.
