The owner manager was very knowledgeable about the local area. The rooms were super clean with newer fixtures and some homemade charm in the furnishings. We would definitely go back when passing thru there again.

Great rates and really clean rooms. Effortless check in. Super convenient for road travel, as it was close enough to the highway to jump back on without being so close that you hear it all night. I would definitely stay again.
