Doing a check in behind bulletproof glass is a bit disconcerting. However, staff were very polite and helpful. Building is dated but very clean.

The room was ok, outdated. TV good, had mini frig/microwave. Tub/shower, no safety bars. Toilet low and small. All functional. Bed was comfortable. Staff was fine. What does one expect for $90?

my go-to place in the area

I stay here a couple of times a year. The rooms are always clean and stocked with the necessities expected for a comfortable stay. The people who work here are some of the friendliest folks I have encountered in my travels. This is not a high-end hotel, but is a good value for the money and close to local activities.

It's an affordable no-frills motel. Rooms are cleaner than the exterior suggests. Some rooms seem to have extended-stay guests who can be noisy on the weekend. A decent stay if you just need a room for a night.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The property is older and shows wear and could use updating, but the room was clean. Bed was comfortable but pillows hard. If you are traveling on a budget and just looking for a night or two it is priced right.

Good location on the southern end of town. Several fast food restaurant within walking distance. Walking distance to GAC if motivated. Property is old and unimproved but maintained minimally. Office is old and unsightly with pet smell. Building is old and also minimally maintaned. Linens are old with small tears but clean and no bedbugs. Wifi was very weak at our room, unuseable most times. 4 nights no housekeeping.

It was very outdated, smelled and was unclean. The cleaning lady was helpful but apologetic about the conditions. The pictures on the website are misleading.

This COULD BE a great local hotel. It's close to downtown, in a relatively quiet location, with some green space. Unfortunately, the manager is not on site, the room was dirty, the shower did not work, the air conditioner/fan did not seem to work, the grounds are poorly maintained, and I was charged more than I was quoted. Because the manager was not on site, I was not able to get a refund for the difference.

Door needed work trash left just outside rooms under bed! Bed comfy tv micro & a/C good! I know these aren't original owners & possible the ratings are low cause upgrades cost & take time! Maybe in a year or two things will be better for the current owners! Cost fair location good just look over room well before signing if possible
