This is our go-to place to stay whenever we’re in town. Check in is super easy, and the rooms are spacious and includes a fridge and microwave. They recently changed their policy for second vehicles is $10 but that makes sense because their parking is limited. For the location and room quality it’s definitely worth it!

It was a good room for the price. I liked that it was a non-smoking property, the room smelled fine. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was what it was; after all, I was looking for a cheap room. I would stay there again without hesitation.

we enjoyed our stay! the only thing that we would change is that our door seemed to have been broken and would shut, but the bottom part of the door would stick out into the room bringing in light, but we still felt safe!
