The breakfast was very tasty. The room was small and outdated. No toilet lid, the towels were rough and small, the soap for the sink and shower (1 bar) was super-tiny. Good location and the attendant let us check in several hours early which was really nice.

This lodge is located next to the road. The building was older but kept up. The room was huge and had 2 King size beds. Bathroom was big too, could have used bars to get in tub for shower as tub sides were high. Very convient to local business and restaurants. Checkin was easy.
