The whole place was very clean and the people were very nice. The beds were i think a little older and not really comfortable but fine. The pool was not up and running for us it was alright but maybe others would want to use it. We would stay again

Room was Spartan, but very clean and nice. Was exactly what I wanted - a budget-friendly, comfortable, safe place to sleep for a night as I was passing through. Parking was the only part of my stay that could have been better. Would definitely stay here again.
