This is a real basic hotel for the traveler. It's cheap and No frills. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. I've stayed here many times, probably four or five times a year. I haven't had any major issues.

We stay often at this inn. Great prices and near by food and mini marts. Make reservations as soon as you know you will be needing a place to stay, it fills up quickly.

Filthy

Every room had a door mat outside that looked like they had been chewed up by a dog. Once in the room I could see daylight under the door. There was at least a half inch gap. The night lock on the door was loose and not secure. The floors felt gritty and dirty. There was dry rot in the bathroom and paint peeling off the walls. This place should not be allowed on Hotels.com. In need of a major makeover.
