I was very happy with my room. Being a single female traveler, I was needing something clean and safe. This place was quiet, exceptionally clean, good shower pressure and (with the whole town) provided the sense of safety that was needed. Check in a simple phone call with no hassle as well. There were also two restaurants close by with a wonderful store just down the road. I would stay here again if I was in the area.
