If you're not picky this place is nice enough. $52.17 total for 2 people on a Saturday night. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the door. Didn't smell bad and looked very nice. The only problem I had was the bathtub wasn't cleaned 100%. Overall I am happy with the room for the price.

Stayed here for 2 nights. The staff were really nice and respectable. I saw no signs of aggression or rudeness like in the other reviews. The rooms were really clean and taken care of, and it had a cool view, which I wasn't expecting. I watched the storms roll through, and it was pretty nice. It was also really quiet, no loud guests or any noises surprisingly, even though it's next to the highway, I slept like a baby. There was an occasional loud car through the night, but not to the point where I really cared. Every amenity worked like a charm. It's also right next to the Pilot, good for food and coffee in the morning. Honestly, I would stay here again. It's not fancy by any means, but it seems like it's a family business handled very well and professionally. I have no complaints. It was a great stay. I would definitely recommend it.

Not a 5 star resort but clean room, flat screen tv, close to city but quiet, and very economic. The people who checked me in where very respectful. There is truck parking. Fridge and microwave are available. I appreciate saving money and still being able to sleep in peace. The room is also fair size. $44 with taxes included. No complaints from me.

I was surprised! For being a little out of the way. The rooms were clean and well supplied with towels, soap and shampoo! The owners were also very nice and they had a washer and dryer for your laundry. Coffee available in the office. I will stay here again.

I believe this was the old name, I think its being made into a Red Roof Inn. Pulling up, it looked a little sketchy...missing name on sign outside, a couple of cars in the parking lot, but that was far from the truth. I would stay here again, 110%. Easy and friendly check-in, the room was clean. The linens looked new. The bed covering was new, the shower curtain was new and the bed was comfy. Quiet and easy access to the highway. Price was reasonable and perfect for the nights stay.

I’ve driven by this place several times but never stop! Knowing the pool has been out for a long time I stayed last night. Got a good nights sleep!. The owner is very nice. For the money. Your not gonna beat itI’d give it 5 stars but of course its an older hotel that’s in pretty good shap. Nice clean hot-hot-hot shower and a bed worth the wait. Have a great day
