Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The ease of check-in was nice after a long drive. The room was clean, simple, no frills and exactly what was needed for a shower and some sleep. Very quiet until the neighbor enters their room, then you realize the walls are kind of thin. Fortunately, the noise didn't last long. Bathroom was clean. Being your own toiletries as a small shower bar and a sample pack of conditioning shampoo is all that is provided. I would stay here again if I'm needing an affordable spot. Enjoyable nights stay for a last minute trip. Thank you!!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Very bare bones room but did the job. Facility was very clean and staff, especially front desk person with the septum piercing was super kind!
Decent spot for doing a quick wine tour! Nothing fancy but clean & neat. Owner/manager was very friendly and welcoming…. Walked us to the room to make sure everything was in working order. Better price than anywhere else in town!
The hotel manager was courteous. The room was very depressing and smelled like smoke. The bathroom was clean. My pillows on the bed were extremely dirty and downright unsanitary. They had pillowcases but one pillow slipped out and I couldn't believe how filthy they were. They were stained with dirt and who knows what and had hair all over them. I thought about calling for new ones but then I thought why bother. If this is what they're putting on their beds I doubt new ones from the front desk would've been any better. I ended up wrapping them up in bathroom towels and put a jacket over them. I didn't sleep well at all and decided to sleep on top of the bed covers. No telling what the sheets would be like. If I could get a refund I would. I booked it based on the reviews but big mistake. They really need to upgrade all bedding, pillows and beds. This was a last-minute booking and I truly regret it.
Very kind courteous respectful staff all around. Privacy respected and a good value. Comfy beds and bedding, you can see and smell the clean and quiet too.
Tiny little soap and no shampoo, towels like sandpaper dark room with poor lighting and below a motel 6 as far as clean. Heater was rusted on vents no TLC
