You get what you pay for. My husband and I love we have a place to crash for a night or two. It has clean comfortable rooms and beds. We have stayed a few times and will probably stay again. My only criticism is they advertise continental breakfast, which I don’t expect much but coffee is a must. Even after I told the employee the machine was out of coffee it wasn’t filled.
