What Guests Are Saying

“Great price, clean, comfortable bed and hot water. My fourth visit and I will be back again. Courteous staff, never any issues and room is always clean.” — Jestin L., 5 stars

“Good clean room at a reasonable price. Will stay here again when in the area. Owner was helpful and courteous. Convenient to dining and shopping. Rooms have been remodeled since the last time we stayed here and look great. Like the hard flooring instead of carpet.” — Patty D., 5 stars

“Friendly staff, simple but comfortable rooms, good location. Main negative is the breakfast - calling it a “simple” breakfast is a joke. Fortunately, there are many breakfast options nearby.” — Rick R., 3 stars
