Very good value for the price you pay. Large room with fridge, microwave, bench, shower with good water pressure! Not super fancy but you get your money's worth. Staff was helpful and friendly as well.

This is a tourist town so prices are a little higher in the places around him, but this place has great hot showers at a reasonable rate. Respected in the community. Honest. The rooms need a little TLC but he is actively fixing it up. We ran into a little automotive trouble and the community came together to get us settled safely. Looking forward to our next stop it will be a planned one.

Got here late in the evening. The manager stayed late to give us our key. Then he went above and beyond by how welcoming he was to my wife, kids, mother-in-law,and myself! Will definitely be going back to this place again! Well worth it!

This is a great budget experience. The walls are cinder block, the bathtub dated, chairs cheap, but the bed is very comfortable. Clean, though the door frame could use a scrub. I would stay again. Not looking for a resort experience, just a cheap room with a good bed...stay here. Owner very friendly and helpful. Good price.

Good value for the price, standard motel, clean, cheap but comfortable beds. Friendly owner and fast wifi. Scent of cleaner is pretty strong. No coffee maker in the room and they don't have coffee out until 7:30 ( would have preferred earlier as I'm up at 6).
