I loved this place, it was amazing, honestly! There was some damages to the walls when i got there and some patch work that needed painting. But i was so looking forward to a warm bath. And then i find the drains been broken. Other than that it was bad. Maybe a rug under the bed.

Parking is quite limited at this hotel. The parking lot is smaller and not well equipped for larger pickup trucks
These accommodations are a disappointment. People are cooking outside their rooms and doors are left open. TV remote or service is terrible . It’s too bad …
Older and basic hotel. Has some wear but it is clean and comfortable. We just needed a place to sleep after a late flight. Owner is great - efficient and accommodating.
This is place isn't so cheap anymore and is quite rundown. Damaged walls, unfinished repairs, broken fixtures, microwave from the 80's, no coffee maker. Garbage on hotel ground, moldy/dirty patio furniture. Friendly staff
The room provided had several holes in the bathroom door covered with tape. The room was in disrepair and unclean. I felt unsafe and I did not stay in the room.
