This property is in very poor condition. There are several people staying in rooms over the occupancy allowances. Men are hanging outside at night at all hours of the night. The pictures for the property do not reflect the very poor conditions this property is actually in. I will never stay here again.

A Very Good Rate

There was no one at check-in, but it was quick when she came. The room was nice and clean, but the bathtub was very dirty.Very quiet. AC worked great on a hot day. It was a very good rate.

Hotel room smelled, the bathroom was dirty and the site was run down. The pictures are not where you are expected to stay. We cancelled as soon as we got there and looked at the room. Not safe.

Looking for a quiet place to stay away from the city noise? You have a diner across the street and tons of great outdoors activities nearby. Service was awesome and room had all the amenities I needed for a few days to myself. You pay a competitive price for your visit for what you get.

Hotel canceled the afternoon of our reserved night

We booked several weeks in advance through hotel.com called the afternoon while we were traveling and told us they had a problem with our room and could not accomodate us as planned. We had to call around to find a hotel at the last minute. We still have a charge for that night where a credit is required to our credit card.

This little place is a hidden gem. The new owner is a very nice person. She is getting the property back into shape but the rooms are great. Clean and quaint. I would stay here any time I’m through. The value is well worth it.

My wife and I are very easy to please in a room, however I have to speak out against this place. The room a/c was inadequate and did not cool the room. The hot water ran out before 1 complete shower leaving the second person to take a complete cold shower. There was a used syringe in the parking lot in front of our room. We will not stay here again.

Great MCM vintage feel and extremely comfortable

Pros- I loved the vintage charm. Staff was wonderfully welcoming and very friendly. Bed was super comfortable. This place is older, think MCM knotty pine and furniture. I loved it. Con’s (or not depending on your needs)- My room looked a bit dim and worn but was very clean and comfy. I was using GPS and the sign wasn’t obvious and came quicker than expected so I drove by and had to re rout the first time. I was here 3 nights and would stay again. If you need a great night sleep at a reasonable price this is a great vintage place. If you need newer and amenities you likely will be better off at a different place.

An older property but inexpensive

It always comes down to you get what you pay for. I just needed an overnight on a long distance Road trip. The staff were extremely friendly but the property is obviously very old and it shows. Although the property is no smoking, my room was very musty and smelled of smoke. Fortunately I had some Febreze with me
