AC was set at 61when I arrived but was easily adjusted to my comfort. The room smelled wonderfully of peppermint! Most of these older hotels can’t get rid of the bad odors. I also love that the floor is not carpeted that’s another way to get rid of bad odors. The young man who checked me in was very accommodating.

Stayed here as one of 5 in a row of "budget" stays on a road trip. This was by far the dirtiest room I stayed in - maybe ever. Nicotine seeping from the dirty walls, food splattered in front of microwave, dead bugs, plus unidentifiable gunk & chunks in the air condtioner. The best thing I can say about it was that the sheets were clean - but I was glad to move on. The young woman at the front desk was charming and helpful - but I doubt she runs the place.

It was quiet besides being near a road. Was able to check with no problems but for a dog friendly hotel, there was no place I could take my dog to go without it being on concrete or rocks. I had a good sleep, it was quiet and no problems. I enjoyed my stay.

We reserved 5 rooms. Great check in. The older lady was very patient and friendly even though we had a big group of family. Rooms were decent and clean. Ac were a little noisy but understandable because they are older. And our room door didn’t lock lol but other than that our stay was good.
