Nice, clean and comfortable room for the price. Exterior of the building is not very impressive and it is legitimately in the parking lot of a truck stop but the interior was simple and updated. The room wasn’t fancy but it was pleasantly clean and quiet with new furnishings and the bed was very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

At first glance this Inn is not remarkable but the service is friendly and attentive. The room is simple and clean but lacks sufficient lighting in the room. Overall I would stay here again. Its NOT a 5 star hotel but you will be pleasantly surprised and the cost is very reasonable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It’s clean and smells nice, but someone kept entering my room when I was away. In fact, they were using the toilet and didn’t flush it the second time. I don’t start mess with folks when there are limited places to stay where I am, so I just bought Clorox wipes to clean everything before I used it. I noticed that they didn’t close the door completely on the last night of my stay, fortunately nothing had been stolen. I have purchased a hidden camera for this reason, and will take it with me when I travel from now on. The owners are nice, but I couldn’t trust them.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Despite the fact it was next to a truck stop and mechanic shop, it was reasonably quiet. The facility was nice, clean and convenient. The room I was in had some unusual furniture - bed and night stands unusually low to the floor and the sink and shower nozzle unusually high so these were inconvenient for short people like me. Despite these inconveniences for me, I rated it excellent because of its cleanliness and the price. There were no frills, but I didn't need "Frills" so I loved it overall.
