This is a great play to stay when you just need a basic place to lay your head at night. Room could use an update, but the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. Breakfast is basic but something before heading out--

Property was horribly discussing! Awful smells. Not clean. Filthy dishes. Nice people I guess, but I sure didn’t want to eat anything there. The price was good but I’d rather pay a few more bucks for a hotel with a cleaning staff. We didn’t see anyone that did housekeeping.

The employees were amazing and helped make the stay bearable. The property is dated, pictures are not how the rooms look. The “kitchen” that is in the rooms is missing the most basic things like a potato peeler, had only 1 small pot and 1 pan which were both old and not very clean. Overall if you don’t care about being in an older hotel it’s ok for the price but I was very disappointed that reality did not match the expectations set by the pictures

Our room was outdated. The bed was not comfortable and the springs underneath the mattress were very noisy. The non-smoking room had a strong cigarette smell and also an old musty smell. One of the worst hotel rooms I have ever experienced.

There was a melted ice cream sandwich on the heat register. So the house cleaner doesn’t spend much time inspecting/cleanjng. Overall needed a thorough cleaning; it just felt dingy. No hot water for shower at 5:00 am. We checked in at 8:30 pm and left at 5:30 am. It was a cheap place to stop for the night. Would not stay again
