This is a very basic hotel, it was clean enough for one night, but the bathroom was not clean when we arrived to our room, with dried urine drips on the toilet seat, hairs on the floor in the bathroom and the room smelled badly of smoke. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was hot, but as mentioned in other reviews the heater fan is so loud that it made it difficult to get a good nights sleep…. I regret not bringing earplugs. Overall it is a basic, clean enough budget hotel.

Overall good but the shower needs some fixing. It's so old and looks dirty because of it, can help but think it's dirty. I had to put plastic bags on my feet because I couldn't get over how dirty the shower looks.

This is anice property very convenient to the highway. Staff are very helpful. Breakfast was good with waffles, fruit, yogurts and toast. Coffee was very good. The property is two stories without an elevator so request main floor if you have mobility issues. Would stay here again

My Top Sheets of both of my Queen Beds were dirty and frayed. The Breakfast Lady in the morning did not change the overflowing garbage can in the breakfast area. Nor did she clean the waffle maker or tables that desperately needed it.
