Clean, basic room. Good water pressure in the shower. Pillows were small, bring your own with you if you can. They will give you more if you ask. Rooms are small but adequate. Owners care about the property and are working to improve things. Good value here.

Nice place for the money

This is the second time I have stayed here. It is not a luxury hotel, but it is also not a roach motel. It is a nice little place for the money. The beds are very comfortable and the staff very friendly and accommodating.
