Good Stay
Nice little hotel. The area was quiet snd convenient to town. No frills motel thst could use a little updating. I wasnt looking for super swanky. Nice room, good accomodations and it was pretty clean. The walls are kind of thin and luckily the only thing I had to hear from either neighbor was their conversations, laughter, and sime snoring.

If you're on a budget, it's good
A coat of paint and stain remover for the chairs would be nice. Clean but dated. The microwave was scary - recommend replacing it.
