Very much a “get what you pay for” place but with friendly owners who do their best to accommodate. I stayed while they were getting brand new AC units and it got so hot in my room. I asked them if they have any type of portable fans & the manager gave me the one out of his office.

Gave us grief about our age, refused to look at the reservation until we were interrogated, had to beg the front desk man to let us have the room we booked. Ended up staying somewhere else. Don’t waste your time.
