    "This place had a 7.6 rating. I have no idea why. I was traveling alone & arrived at night. To say this place gave me the creeps doesn't cover how I felt. Even the Office was under lock & key to register. The owner was intimidating & the room was less than bare minimum. I will never go there again. The Royal was a short distance away & I wish I had stayed there. BEWARE."
