Very good value. The people who work here are very nice and works with you if you need to leave later than check in. The rooms reflect great upkeep while still having a cheap feel. Towels are clean, bathrooms are fairly clean and you get bar soap of course. Beds are way more comfy than a Days Inn or anything of the like for sure. But if you want a quiet bed, dont look here. Talk about squeeky! But stable! Building and parking lot needs to be repainted. Quiet area unyil around 7 or 8am. Expect cars to be consistent after then. Security is iffy here but not much break-ins because its along a main road. Overall a very pleasent stay! I recommended if your passing through or just need a couple nights just to be away.

Best place in town and convenient to lots of restaurants and stores. Breakfast was the best I'd had at any hotel. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay great, especially Tiffany.

Good place with good owner/operators who are reasonable and they don't forget you if you stayed there in the past, which is good if you were a good customer; and if you were not a good customer, they will remember that too..
