Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Cheap and the rooms are well re-furnished and are always clean. Very understanding front desk when you need something or if you need a room. Beds are always clean same with linen. They come to your door day to day for housekeeping even on time. Would reccomend to anyone .”
“Hot shower, clean bed, no noise from other guests, cold AC. $68 close to downtown It’s obviously an older place in the rougher side of town right next to the road so that shouldn’t be a surprise. It’s not nearly as bad other reviews make it out to be.”
