Three stars does not mean it was a bad experience. The place is fine. Clean, close to town. But it is just not a top-notch hotel. It is basic. You are paying for a cheap hotel and a cheap hotel is what you get.

It is an old school roadside motel. The current owners have done a great job renovating it. Great value. The rooms are on the small side but that is just due to the age of the place.

The location was great, practically in the middle of downtown. The absolute best part however was the very sweet man running the place. We were very late arriving, so he called us to make sure we were still coming and then waited up for us to nearly 1 in the morning! REALLY sweet.
