The deadbolt on the door didn't work and there were several undesirable people hanging around...didn't feel safe. The room itself was clean, but the toilet looked as if it had been unused for a long time with a dirty ring in the bowl.

It was difficult to enter the property from the South as the highway at this location is marked with double yellow lines, which in most duristrictions means you cannot cross the center line at this location. Entering the property involved turning around

Pros: Great property for the price. I loved the beds and the rooms were clean and well kept. Rooms were nice and quiet. Pet friendly too. Cons:Curtains are not blackout and the area is a little rough... still for the price it's a great place to hang your hat for the night :)

It was great! The staff was super lovely! The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The only thing I would change would be to add a little “welcome package” for those arriving late like we did (1:30am) to the room that has the name of any late night delivery food, and the wifi password (I looked through the front office window and zoomed in with my phone camera so I got the password, but it would have been nice to not have to do that lol). Also, maybe fix the little chain because that isn’t giving any security lol. The outside isn’t much to look at but it was a surprisingly nice room to walk into. I would definitely stay here again!
