Friendly staff
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was kind of run down and...damp? It wasn't the nicest place to stay but not bad for the price.

We would book there again.
Friendly staff, clean rooms as far as we knew. Hotel does not have breakfast. The room Jacuzzi worked well and held HOT water. Comfortable beds and big pillows, tv worked. I liked that they have good blackout curtains. It felt great to sleep in. Great stay for a low price.

Top notch, personal. Dedicated customer service. Charming building. Has the feeling of a close knit community, but still standard hotel. Good price. Treated us so well we stayed another night. Just great honestly

Price was right. Looks like they have been slowly upgrading the old motel. Seems they installed a water softener, got better a/c, lush towels and nice and clean.
