We stayed here 10 years ago and I swear nothing has been done since then. Pillows were like lumpy footballs, carpet wasn’t even vacuumed, beds had a huge dip in the center and old towel from previous tenants still in the room.

Don’t arrive hungry. The only restaurant in town may or may not be open. The food was so so. Wanted to have breakfast in the morning, however the only resting town decided they would not open so we hit the road hungry.
