Nice Inn for a Great Price

We really enjoyed our brief stay at this inn. Our room was clean and comfortable. The AC worked amazing and the staff were friendly. We were on the front side of the inn so the noise from the road was a little loud, but it wasn't horrible. I think if your room was on the backside it would be fine.
