It was very affordable, but it smelled like an Indian restaurant. I had to keep my window open all night and there was no screen, so I was lucky it wasn't bug season yet. Either the live-in management or a long term guest is into Curry. In fact, at the breakfast area, a man pulled a covered plate out of a cooler and put it in the microwave, but I checked out before I had to find out what it was or was going to smell like.

If i could give 10 stars I would. The pictures were accurate as shown. The hotel smelled clean when coming in and the floors were clean and shiny. The room was very clean and bed was very comfortable. Its not right off toll road but it was half the price of those so worth finding it. Easy to get to finding someplace to eat. Thank you for such a great place to stay.

Nicely kept up, although an older property. For the price, hard to beat. The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was limited, but adequate. We've stayed here a couple times, and will be staying again.
