Check in staff was personable and very kind. I arrived after 1 a.m., so appreciate the 24 hour reception desk. Price and location were fantastic. From outside looks basic - dated, but clean and neat. Everything in room is updated, very clean, and functioned as it should. I am very happy to have stumbled upon this place. It’s halfway point for my frequent trips to see mom. My dog and I will stay here again.

Excellent value for the price. Owner/manager was very friendly and informative. Bed was very comfortable and room was spotless. Although the property isn't fancy, everything was operational. No coffee in the room, but there is a fridge and microwave, so if you want coffee in the morning, pick up a cup at the Casey's and warm it up the next am.
