Hotel was quite clean and close to the highway. Everything seemed dated to 10-15 years old but it was clean and well maintained. I’d stay again.

Dilenny, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Older establishment but decent value for the cost. Was disappointed to see a dirty sink upon arrival but the rest of the room was sufficiently clean. Bed was fairly comfortable. Walls are thin and we could hear the neighbors tv. All in all it was decent for an overnight stay.
