If you are looking for a comfortable room that is CLEAN, you can’t beat this place. We’ve stayed several times now during trips across the state. They are always very polite & welcoming. As an added bonus, it’s super affordable.

I left my room(outside entrance) at 8 am and when I returned at 5:30 pm my door was open about a foot. Room was under 50 degrees and who knows if anything is missing from my belongings. Not sure what time housekeeping comes through but am sure they did as the garbage cans were all emptied. Very disappointing.
