Like all the other reviews say, the property is little dated, but it is an excellent place to stay for the night, bed sheets were nice and clean, the place is smack dead in the middle of town. Location is perfect. Staff was friendly. Easy check-in and easy checkout. Would definitely stay again.

The property advertised having "squeaky-clean" rooms or something to that effect, and both my wife and I felt it lived up to this advertisement. Nothing fancy, but clean and affordable.

We chose this hotel for its price. For what we paid, it's good value. The hotel is very dated, and nothing fancy, but perfect for our one-night stopover. We would definitely consider staying here again.

It was a trip back to the seventies. Coffee pot had burnt coffee in it and when i left it outit wasn't cleaned, just placed back in the holder. The drawers were not clean. The heater started and stopped every 2 minutes and blow right on the beds. All four pillows were different. People were very noisy fighting until 11:00pm every night.

Amazing value, clean, affordable, and comfortable.

The room was way nicer than expected for the price. The room was large, clean, and it had a large tv. Many budget options skimp on the tv size. Everything was clean and worked as expected. I have stayed in rooms double the price that were way worse. Would definitely recommend.
