It was a pleasant stay. The restaurant and the little store made it very convenient to get a bite to eat. My tv didn’t work very well and my water pressure was stalling. But honestly I would stay here again. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The price was affordable. I enjoyed my stay. I recommend it if you need place to crash for the night.
