Very helpful attentive staff. Although, they are a little under staffed. The breakfast sausage and eggs were cold and they apparently had ran out of waffle mix.

It was a great place to stay after a hot day of driving with No a/c. It was nothing special and seemed a little old and worn. It was great for what we needed (air conditioned room, a shower, and a bed). Definitely not a terrible place, but nothing particularly special either.

All basics covered!

Hotel was not fancy but it was very clean and had all the basics anyone needs. The room had a full size fridge, sink, and microwave which made it very convenient to store and heat left overs. Bed was very comfortable and I slept well all 4 nights. I would stay here again. Thank you!
