I stayed here recently and found it to be an excellent value for the price—a case of getting more than what you pay. The hotel is nice, clean, and affordable, making it an excellent choice for budget-friendly travel. The only thing I noticed was that the staff didn’t seem very talkative, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience. For the cost, it exceeded my expectations!

Room was clean and the bed comfortable, but in desperate need of an update.... there is a table and chair for a computer, but nowhere to plug it in, and not many other options for other devices (phones, etc).... Breakfast was rather sparse.

The pictures featured on the ad for this property were deceptive. It showed beautiful hot springs which I asked about and found out they were not near the property, they were 45 min away. The carpet in our room needed vacuuming but the beds and bathroom seemed clean. The Staff were all very friendly and nice. The reviews were all good for this property but I was not impressed. I don’t need anything fancy on my road trip, but I do expect a properly cleaned room and a bit better than this.

In all honesty, I gave all perfect scores because the young man working on 7/25/2025 was fast, respectful and caring when it came to getting my little girls into a room. He went and double checked the room before getting us keys to ensure it was ready for them to go lay down. He moved fast and efficient. Will return as long as he continues to be an employee for this establishment!
