Great stay

For the price this place was amazing. Hot water, A/C, king size bed, clean linens. I even got a microwave and refrigerator. For the most part the room was quiet except for the birds in the morning but that didn't bother me much. It's not a place for everyone but for the price and a one night rest it was great and I would stay again.

A comfortable night

The wife and I were just tired and for $60, it was perfect for just an overnight stay. Check in was super easy and quick, front lobby was clean, the room was clean and comfortable, and the shower was hot. Woke up refreshed and ready to finish the drive home.
