The decor is dated and a bit kitschy but is well kept and I love all the little touches such as interesting magazines and chocolates on the bed. Very comfy mattress and pillows. I travel for work and this place is my go to, Its affordable and I feel cosy, comfortable and safe after a long day. The proprietor is lovely and clearly cares about his guests experience!

Disliked: Staff & service
There was no obvious alert about final check in times. I did not know "office closes at 9:30PM" = No after hours check in. And since I was driving I had intermittent message andfd phone service so could not follow up once I saw that SMS. I arrived around midnight exhausted from 6 hours of driving to no after hours access and SLEPT IN MY CAR AT A REST STOP. Never checked in. Never got a follow up asking why. And there was NO WAY TO REQUEST A REFUND on your ap. WHAT A FRAUD!!!!
