An older property that has been updated. It's clean, was quiet. Nothing special but cheap, cheerful, and an affordable place to crash. I felt comfotable staying here the night when roads were bad. Not bad at all

My friend and I stayed at this hotel and it was fantastic before we got settled into our room we checked the beds and they were all clean, bug free. We enjoyed having our own fridge cooktop and big sink and there was a big countertop. The beds were okay slept very well. The TV is not smart so no Netflix or anything but we had a tablet that we watched Netflix on. There was only one big plate one small plate very little silverware and one big pot one small pot and one frying pan everything worked very well for us we would be staying at this place again.
