Please be prepared it is CASH ONLY. The wifi is slow. Price paid on a long weekend worth it. Place is clean and staff is friendly. It is not a hotel it is a motel. I wouldn't mind staying again. It was ok

Convenient place. A bit of a disagreement on my side that need to pay extra as a disabled patron to stay in the first level since they are now newly renovated rooms. They’re real nice but still shouldn’t be more expensive especially since they’re needed in first level for ADA Reasons.

The hotel has old bedsheets and old towels. I was disappointed that the channels on TV had easy access to pornography channels, and I don't think that is ok at all. NOT OK!!!!!
