Good value
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. My only complaint was that the walls were a bit thin so we could hear people talking. The front desk staff were very accomodating.

Clean and comfortable
Clean and really appreciate the fridge with a separate freezer as we travel with medicine that needs refrigeration. Bed was comfortable but could use a blanket. Door has gap that lets bugs in and lamp outlets need tightening so plugs stay in. I mention these things so the owners are aware and can fix them. We love staying here every year.

Staff was friendly, check in was quick. Rooms were clean. Beds are a little stiff with thin linens but its a budget hotel so what do you really expect. Would certainly stay again.
