Fast check in, staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was clean.. bed was a little uncomfortable, you could hear the springs when you rolled over or even sat down.. but all in all not bad for the price.

Stay Away!!
I understand that this is a older hotel. I don't mind older furnishings or decor but a room being so dirty makes it hard to sleep. 3 Long black hairs on the bed, 2 in the shower, dirty toilet, 2 dirty towels, and a dirty pillow case with boogers on it. We had traveled all day and were exhausted and my husband had already unloaded our luggage and all his tools into the room otherwise we would have left! Its obvious they are not changing bedding or towels out, much less doing any cleaning at all!! Do yourself a favor and drive to Taft or any other town for a decent clean room!
