I was very impressed with this place. The young man who checked me in was very kind and professional, the room was exceptionally clean, the parking place was right in front of my door, and it offered free breakfast although I did not have time for it. It was apparent that it was an older property, but it was well maintained and was the perfect balance of comfort and economy. Absolutely would 100% recommend for anyone traveling (especially with pets). There was a large green lawn space with a pet waste disposal station behind the property.

This hotel is okay if you’re just passing through and need to lay your head somewhere for the night. Unfortunately we ran into a lot of drunks at this hotel and someone trying to get a ride from me and then threatened me. I probably wouldn’t stay here again.
