This hotel is (or was for us) 59.99 a night. Honestly I got alot more than I thought I would for this price. The beds were clean and bug free, the bathroom was cleanish... the towels felt like 80 grit sand paper and you have to check in at the gas station. The TV has plenty of channels and not just local ones. (That was a suprise) theres no fridge or microwave. But the gas station has a microwave (after some convincing they allowed us to use it. Theres no ice machine. Again the gas station has one you'll be allowed to use. And the mattress is soft (like sink to the floor soft) all in all it wasnt a bad experience or hotel. I'd honestly stay there again if on a budget and in the area. The AC in the room works extremely well.

I disagree with previous review by 100 percent. I have wanted to stay in this hotel/inn for 15 years. It was as wonderful as I imagined. Our room was immaculate. My favorite part was the rocking chairs outside. It's just clean, calm, quaint and for me, absolutely perfect!!! I love this place.

The room is huge with a TV, mini fridge, and microwave. There was a sofa and a two person table. It was clean and smelled decent. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Great choice for overnight. We found ourselves unexpectedly needing to stay in the area and we are out of state visitors. Clean, black out curtains darkenedthe room for daytime sleep, quiet, easy check in and less than $50 I believe Behind gas station that stays staffed but quiet, very well lit parking lot. Felt safe. Great place.
