Passin thru

Very clean and comfortable. I booked it online and the desk clerk was very upset over it. She berated her boss and complained about everything during the 10 minutes it took to check us in. She acted like it was such a bother to check us in.

Nice small town hotel

Older small-town county hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. No major damage. Older furniture, rugs, etc. Modern TV and appliances. I would stay again.
