My friend and I stayed at this hotel and it was fantastic before we got settled into our room we checked the beds and they were all clean, bug free. We enjoyed having our own fridge cooktop and big sink and there was a big countertop. The beds were okay slept very well. The TV is not smart so no Netflix or anything but we had a tablet that we watched Netflix on. There was only one big plate one small plate very little silverware and one big pot one small pot and one frying pan everything worked very well for us we would be staying at this place again.

An older property that has been updated. It's clean, was quiet. Nothing special but cheap, cheerful, and an affordable place to crash. I felt comfotable staying here the night when roads were bad. Not bad at all

Terrible property, tried to overcharge from rate booked with Expedia. Then demanded $400 security deposit paid in cash. Door key would not work (proximity) & was told staff would have to let us in room each time. DO NOT BOOK!

The rooms were dirty when we got there I used its cloth to clean up and was charged $40 because I got the towels dirty was told I should’ve came to the front and asked for a mop. I was willing to go to Walmart and replace towels with better quality towels, they said it was their policy and they offered me to take home the dirty towels.
