Don't judge a book by its cover. From the outside, it needs some upgrading. The inside, while no frills, is exceptionally clean, and the beds are big and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. Easy drive to beautiful downtown Carlisle. For a night or two, a great value. Will definitively stay there again the next time through.

Good price for the quality

We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and well kept. There was a lot of light outside, so it was hard to get the room dark enough for good sleep, but it was also a comfort for security. We recommend a room further from the highway. Lots of traffic noise through the night, but overall, we were happy with our stay.

Would stay again!

Overall my stay was fine. The rooms are a little dated but they were clean and comfortable with good cold AC. The staff was very accommodating. Special shout out to Beth as I had a bit of a situation and without hesitation she helped me to remedy it. Thank you Beth. Easy access as your able to pull up right in front of your room so you don't have to be touring luggage far.
