We have stayed there twice now and we’ve enjoyed it both times been happy with the cleanliness and the quietness. And we feel that it’s a great price which we appreciate greatly.
Clean remolded room. Comfortable bed. Wonderful breakfast, eggs, sausage, bacon, potato wedges and more. I have food allergies and was well pleased with breakfast choices.
The shower didn't work for starters. Safety is not a priority here. The window didn't lock and the wooden bar in the track was too short to do anything so anyone could have opened the window from outside. The lock is a simple key lock, so i had chairs shoved against it to wedge it closed to feel a little safer. It's alos very loud, the walls are super thin so i heard everything outside including the street light signaling when to walk.

You could easily find something healthy to eat. We had cereal and yogurt. The parking lot was dominated by large trucks - tough to find a safe spot. The rooms were small but clean and looked like it had been given a recent facelift. The exterior of the building needs cleaning up - a little shabby looking. The price as about right though.
The property is very outdated but it was a good place to stay for one night! We felt safe and the person that checked us in was very nice. The breakfast was very good and loved how they had snacks too (oatmeal cream pies are my fav)!
The front desk gentleman was very nice. The mattress very comfortable to sleep on. The breakfast was more than we expected! Older place but appears to be maintained.
The room was comfortable, the carpet had large stains which made us feel like we had to have footwear on. But the bed and other accommodations were good! We found another group and got to chat with them instead of staying in room. We’d stay here again
