Just okay.

It was okay. The room was good for the price. We had to wait around 15 minutes for someone to come in to check us in to our room. He snatched things out of my hands and tossed them back. I didn’t love that. Overall, the stay was fine, however we won’t stay at this particular location again.

Good deal on a budget

Room was good for the price. Clean and had a comfortable bed. Nothing fancy just a clean place to crash during my fishing trip. Lots of good food and fun things to do nearby
