This was a really nice little place to stay. It's basically a small apartment with all the amenities it has. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything i needed. The only negative thing i could say, which is no fault of the property owners, is that there is no cellular service.

I recently stayed at this hotel, unit 7A and unfortunately, it was in very poor shape. The wallpaper was dirty and peeling, and the walls were stained. The windows were drafty, and the doors looked like they had been chewed by a dog. Some areas had boards randomly nailed in place, and there was a small, oddly positioned window with glass duct-taped in. The overall atmosphere was uninviting and poorly maintained. The furniture was extremely old and in questionable shape. The sofa, in particular, was so worn and unclean that I wouldn’t even sit on it. Cleanliness was also an issue—while the bed sheets and towels were clean, the plates provided were dirty. On the plus side, the stove and fridge were clean and functioned well, and dish soap and cloths were provided. Despite a few positives, the overall condition of the hotel was unacceptable. I would not recommend staying here.

When i pulled up, i noticed there was no staff on site and took me a minute to figure out how to unlock the door with an 'invisible' key pad. Upon entry, i noticed the place was clean enough with a small kitchentte and full sized fridge. When i arrived the TV didnt work so i called thenoffice andnthey came.right away to set it up. After a long 20 mile day out on the trail, i was hoping for a nice hot shower. To my surprise, the water in thebshower was varely lukewarm, so it sas a no shower night for me. Thebsurroubding area has little no food options that arent ridiculously expensive. I ordered a medium pizza ans small (runny) milkshake from a joont down the road and the bill was almost 40$.

This is a great find. Everything is very bare bones but for the price and location it is worth it. It is very quiet and comfortable. The kitchenette is a great addition!
