Reviews and property signage indicated rooms had been renovated. I did not find that to be the case at all in the room I occupied. Carpet was dated and stained in a couple places. Room smelled musty. Had to get a room deodorizer from staff. Bathroom had shower tile from the 70's. Bathroom needed some paint as door jambs and lighting switches all were apparently greased stained. AC unit was old and continuously cycled on and off all night. Refrigerator and microwave did look new. It was a last-minute choice, and you get what you pay for in those instances. Because of limited availability in the town the price was increased substantially from the normal rack rate from what I saw online. Owner was nice in the minimal contact I had with him. Would be hard pressed to recommend this property.

It was way too noisy all over on the top on the sides didn’t feel comfortable. Didn’t get any sleep. People were very, very noisy. I guess the owners don’t care how noisy it is because they don’t have to sleep through it. We’ll never go back there again.

Good place to stay if you’re on a budget and want to stay a couple days! I went for a little visit and there was clean bedding and cozy room environment. Was a little noisy at some points, as walls are thin but no big issue. Had towels. Should get better quality shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste. As they had only little packets of it all. Not the modern updated look but you get what you pay. Nice visit
