They advertise free Wifi, however the wifi service was horrible. Both myself and my travel partner who had fairly new phones both had very little if any wifi service. When the room door was open or we were outside we had full service, but when we closed the door and was inside the room we barely had any service. When I complained about it the owner blamed my phone. I think not!! Totally unacceptable for the price I had to pay.

I was apprehensive upon check-in. Rooms were small and cramped, but clean and comfortable. Wifi was weak. The site was older but is being updated and cared for. new TV, AC, sidewalks, and windows. Overpriced, but at the time, I could find nothing else suitable. Stand-up shower had ample hot water. Would stay there again at a lower price.

Reasonable priced stay

I was in town for a reunion of my high school classmates and only staying one night. Price was reasonable. My surprise was how efficient, clean, and attractive was my room and the outside area. A nice continental breakfast was also supplied. The owner I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. Above and beyond I call it. No wonder they are listed as AAA.

Great stay for an economy hotel. Clean and appropriately maintained. The location is a bit out-of-the-way, but that is actually — for us — a bonus.
