Property is outdated and not very clean! Rooms smell like smoke and burn holes in brown outdated blankets. Bathroom reeked of urine and toilet was dirty. People hanging outside late night drinking. Lady at the front desk was very pleasant!

Kinda like visiting you grandparents house. Older amenities, but keep up 80 percent. It was well worth the price i payed which was cheaper than the rest in the area. It was less than a mile from the racetrack i came to see, beds we comfortable. Had good hot showers and was relatively quiet even though next to a truck stop. Would i stay again, yes i would
