Worked great for our needs

It was good for our purpose, which was for the location and to sleep and shower before taking a trip. It was quiet and secure. The staff were friendly and polite. Very good rates on cost. I was disappointed the room didn’t have a fridge for our food and drinks though. The grounds and furniture are kind of old but the bathroom is new. The room itself was clean, but could definitely use a “deep cleaning” every once in a while. We weren’t looking for anything fancy. I wanted an inexpensive place for us to sleep and shower and that’s just what we got here, so I was pleased.

Decent in a pinch but prob wouldn’t stay again

I booked this prop becasue of the rating. I firmly believe those reviews must’ve been from their friends, fake accts, or were paid. Cause the whole place was two star all the way. The bed had one thin sheet and one old, dirty comforter. The price was right but as they say, you get what you pay for.

Clean but...

Although the room was clean the shower only had a trickle of hot water and there was some sort of electric motor that ran outside the door most of the night.

Perfectly a good place to stay family owned, and they have obviously clean it up. They have a rule that says you can’t have any visitors you’re gonna get kicked out which is made it kind of awkward when I was meeting with my nephew for this vacation to go to dinner, but they didn’t seem to care about that. I guess it’s to keep unwanted folks out of their property
