We had a great overnight stay and slept extremely well in our room. There are a number of others all around due to a dirt biking event but it was quiet and everyone was extremely courteous. Having the restaurant there was great since we were tired from travel and just wanted to sit in our rooms and relax before bed. Would def stay again if in the area!

Room was clean but very rustic with 1970's used (some broken) decor and furniture. The restaurant was convenient and decent food and staff. Restaurant seamed like a popular local spot.

This place needs help. Carpeting in room was torn and dirty, the dark wall paneling looked like it was from 1976, there was mold in the shower tile, and general finish of the sink area was of poor quality and dirty. On the plus side, the front desk lady was very sweet, and the room had a nice little fridge and was nicely sized. Beds were comfortable.
