We stayed here last minute as we got into town a day early and they had availability for one night. The property is dated but was clean and the front desk attendant was great. It was right on the main drag and a convenient walk to restaurants and shopping.

We loved the area and the price. The room had a little roach and flies and there were no comforters only a sheet to cover ourselves but other than that we can’t complain. We loved it anyways and would stay again if needed too.

It's an average place to stay. Nothing horrible and nothing exceptional. Worth the price. Front office staff were really friendly. I was a little spooked by some of the bad reviews but I didn't have that experience.

Facilities are very old, no rod for the toilet paper, tv wasn’t working, mold on the bath floor, peeling couch, and worse one of the bed you can feel the springs. I understand it was pricy because the season (7/4) but never again at their hotel
