What Guests Are Saying
“Nice clean rooms and amenities. Breakfast was great too. Hallway and room carpeting is old and could be replaced, but minor detail. Hotel personnel were very friendly and accommodating.” — pjones030, 5 stars
“The hotel was very nice, the staff was friendly, the room was nice and comfy, but the breakfast was just ok. This hotel felt safe and was worth the money spent. We will be back!!” — Lesley K., 5 stars
“This is not a hotel, it is a motel. All doors open to the outside. I did not feel safe due to the poor state of the property and the clientele there and do not recommend for single women. Very dirty property, rooms smelled and are outdated and dirty-poorly maintained.” — Pathfinder576405, 2 stars
