It was very affordable, convenient to 75. Frig and MW provided. Personnel was professional and helpful, they came to open the office within minutes after ringing the bell. The beds were comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. The facility was older and though clean, fixtures were rusted. Wall unit and frig were noisy. Could hear TV and clear conversation from adjoining room. TV was in room, but no remote. Ice container and plastic liner provided, but couldn’t find ice maker anywhere. Overall, I got what I paid for. A good night’s rest and shower, a frig to keep my ice chest contents cold, but no frills.

While the gentleman on duty was extremely nice and welcoming, there was nothing else good about this place. In disrepair and questionable in all regards. The carpet was damp, the paint peeling, mold, and overall sketchy. If you can afford the extra 30 or 40 bucks, do yourself a favor and go with a known HOTEL chain. Lesson learned: I will never look for “a cheap place to crash” again.

Fine for the price

It's a very old hotel but economically priced and the front desk employee, maybe owner, was very friendly and quick. The bathroom definitely needs updating or a better clean. We chose not to shower due to looking like mold. It may have been a stain as the rest of the room was clean.
