Love staying here when we're in town. Quiet, every room weve ever been given has a porch or balcony area, close enough to everything I wanted to be without being in the middle of it all. Breakfast offered, nice bathrooms.

Wonderful Experience

It was a wonderful experience, and I’m super happy that it was pet friendly. My room was in a great location and easy to let my dog out when needed. I was very comfortable and it was quiet. Honestly, best sleep I had in a long time.

People cool and check in was cool but the room is awful and so is the bed. If you need something cheap it’s perfect and I ain’t mad I went I just will never go again. The staff was nice though, so nothing against them. I did feel safe and wasn’t worried about nothing crazy, I just like comfort and this and that.
