I Stopped Here Unexpectedly during the snowstorm on my way through town, I'm really glad I did. The room was very clean, quiet, and offered every thing I needed for a comfortable night. The hotel is reasonably priced, and I enjoyed the wonderful coffee in the morning before getting back on the road. A Great Place To Stay. HIGHLY RECOMMEND....

Room was nice and clean and the staff friendly. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because their tv technology needs to be updated, tv kept pausing non stop and picture wasn't the clearest, like I was watching everything in 480i.

I cannot recommend this hotel. We checked in and went to our room. The carpet had dirt laying on top of it, the sheets on one bed had not been changed (there were lint, seeds and dirt on them), the bath tub had mud streaks, the toilet had dried urine under the seat, and there was only one bath towel. I assume the housekeeper had been there because the beds were made, and there was a bath rug over the side of the tub with little bottles of shampoo and conditioner on it. The "free breakfast" was little cereal boxes and milk in a refrigerator that was locked. This hotel also rents rooms by the week and month. There were people and cars congregating around the hotel entrance until well after dark. In conclusion, I will travel out of my way to avoid staying at this hotel again.
