Would not stay again

The room was just ok. I questioned the cleanliness of the beds. It’s very outdated and needs some TLC. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Needed a place to stay after a long travel night and this was perfect. Owner went out of his way to make sure I had what I needed even with a late arrival. Room was as expected for the price. Will look here again next time I'm in the area.

I found multiple hairs in the bathtub. The room smells like bleach. That's never a good sign. The bed smells like stale sex. Wouldn't be staying if it weren't for the impending storm. Wouldn't recommend for the price.

Good value and location

I chose this hotel for the cost (low) and location. It was a good value and centrally located. The family that runs the place was kind and accommodating. The room was certainly old but felt clean and had a nice view out the back.
