"My husband had me book rooms here but I was really leery about staying here because of all the bad reviews I had read, but I was very surprised that it was nothing like the things I had read everything was clean didn't have no funky smells and the beds were comfortable and the manager was very nice I'm sure we will be back there to stay again."

“I found this place to be quite basic, offering limited amenities like coffee supplies only for two. The absence of a phone in the room also struck me as unusual, contributing to a no-frills experience. Ultimately, it's a place you might consider under duress, but perhaps not by choice.”
