My wife’s car broke down on the way out and when I tried to cancel I was told no refunds within 24 hours. I understand policy but it feels like adding insult to injury. Now I have to pay for another hotel near the car while we wait for roadside assistance towing to come.

Our favorite place to stay in South Fork.

This is our favorite place to stay when in town. The rooms are clean, quiet, and comfy - and you can’t beat the price! The automated check-in feature is convenient as well.

This is a simple hotel that charges a low, low price. The room isn’t fancy but it was perfect for my one-night stay on a road trip. The online booking and check-in system worked perfectly. But here’s the best part. I texted the owner today I was having car trouble. Asked if he could recommend a good garage. The next thing I know their maintenance guy was at my door to see if he could help the car. I needed a full garage and this guy steered me away from a place with a bad reputation and sent me to someone who treated me well. This was above and beyond and really made me feel great about my hotel choice.
