Very Clean Older Hotel - Hidden Gem

Don't overlook this little gem. It is an older hotel, but it is very clean and the staff is friendly. The rooms are spacious and they have taken time to update the rooms with stainless steel dormsize refrigerators and microwaves. The towels were soft and felt like new. The bathrooms were small, but very clean and inviting. There was even a little flower made out of toilet paper sealing the roll. There is a small breakfast area, but it included a decent variety, including cheese omelets. The food was kept very fresh and the counters and tables very clean and well maintained. If you are just looking for a friendly place to stay as you travel, don't miss this one. It's obvious the owners take a lot of pride in their hotel.

It was very clean & inexpensive. It is a little dated & there were some very rowdy neighbors that sounded like they may break the door down.
