Very old, we expected that. Friendly front office lady. Animal friendly. Clean but was in need of many repairs. Heater worked well, but unable to open the window for fresh air. For the price, we made it work for a quick stop over and hot shower.

It was understaffed, however the staff who were there were very sweet and helpful. Because of understaffing the rooms were not super clean and we had a broken window. But I don't feel it was a reflection on the staff working at that time.

The property is in need of an update but the most important thing was that it is clean. The lady on reception was welcoming and friendly - she seemed to do pretty much everything around the property. A very good stay, thank you.

If all you want is a bed, this is the cheapest option in town. Bathroom sink was clogged. Microwave was missing the plate that rotates. Very limited channels on TV. I'm not too picky, and all I really needed was a place to lay down. I took the $40 bucks I saved and went out for an evening meal.

Try checking g in at 8pm. They sent us to a room with no number on it. Door wa hard to open and room smelled like smoke. When back ask for a non smocking room that we booked. Made us wait another 15 minutes so they could clean a room. Most of the doors were open with rooms that had not been clean. Don’t go there !
