This is an older structure that is pretty well kept up. It was quiet and clean with a faint smell of cigarette smoke. Outside lighting was plentiful and site was safe. The front desk lady was very helpful and nice with lots of smiles. The breakfast was much more than I expected and enjoyable. The price is right for this hotel. I have stayed at other places for more money and been very unhappy. I would stay here again.

The house keeper could have spent more time cleaning the bathroom. I have red hair and there were quite a few black hairs that weren't mine. The wifi code did not work and the TV cable did not have a good connection. It had a clean place to sleep and running water. The breakfast selection was alright.

Nice and friendly stuff. Clean and basic room. Close to rail road. You can hear the train rubbling when the trains pass by but they did not blow whitsle, so not noisy.

The staff was very helpful, made an excellent dinner recommendation and took extra care with my ID. The room was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and working appliances and AC (the temperature outside was 104F, so this was important). This is a basic hotel that makes an effort. Kudos.

This hotel does not look like much on the outside, but my room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast provided was once of the best ones I have come across for hotels at this price point. It looks a little rough on the outside, but it is a gem on the inside.
