Thankfully, not a bad experience for us like other reviewers mentioned in regards to cleanliness. I slept well and got some coffee downstairs in the morning. Overall, a decent stay for tired travelers. We arrived close to midnight but I called the phone number on the front desk office and a man showed up within minutes to check us in. No breakfast, but there is coffee.

Good value, less than good mattress and pillows
Room was clean and felt safe with plenty of hot water in the shower. Tub a bit dingy, but most likely from age and not because it wasn’t being cleaned. Check-in and check-out was smooth. This is definitely a place where you get what you pay for, so the bed felt like sleeping on a cardboard box and the pillows were few in number and lumpy. The laminate floor was shockingly cold in the morning. All of that said, I was in town for a volunteer event and so tired both nights that I just appreciated having a quiet, safe, cheap spot to sleep.

It is a perfect hotel for the price. One that allows animals and smoking, even though my smoking room didn’t smell like smoke when I got there. It’s clean and just right. Good air, good beds, good extras that I needed. The owner is very nice. I messed up and booked two rooms, at different times. The owner fixed it no problem. Even helped me check in at midnight when I arrived, and in a very good mood too. The hotel area is very clean and quiet and it felt safe. The hotel is very well lit up. A woman traveling alone, arriving after dark, I felt completely safe. There’s so many things that could have gone wrong but it’s like they cover every concern or need. I highly recommend this hotel and will stay here again if I’m anywhere near it again.
