This property is way overpriced for the condition. The hotel is old and the bathroom had dirt around the edge of everything. The walls were patched and the vanity light was hung crooked to try to cover it, repairs were done cheaply. What you would expect in an old motel but not $175 per night. The staff on the other hand, was super nice and helpful and friendly. The lady in reception and the maintenance man, were immediately helpful when our room key stopped working. Breakfast was good too and that facility was super bright and clean. Would stay here again being pet friendly and the room itself and bed were clean just old but it probably should be closer to $120 per night.
Staff was great but the hotel was nothing like it was advertised.

The property is in a good location next to everything I needed. The beds are comfortable and it's quiet. The receptionist Ms.Joeann is everything! She made sure my stay was comfortable and that I had everything I needed. I will be staying again soon.

Staff was courteous and Hotel clean. Room was a little dated and gap under the door that light and insects could come through. Woke up to a couple load noises in the night. All in all it was a good value for my stay without any hassle. Breakfast was good too!
