Check in was a breeze. The staff was great - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The room was what I expected and what I wanted - a clean place to shower and sleep on a longer journey. I would definitely stay here again.

Easy check in, but property is run down. Door chipped and beaten up, bathroom window partially shattered, bedding felt dirty. The entire place needs some serious refurbishing. I only stayed for one night because the price was good and it has a cool retro look from the road. But sadly that’s where it ends.
