Great affordable place to stay for our family. Property is dated and could use some minor repairs but we would definitely stay again.

The stay was amazing. I had called earlier in the day to make sure our reservation was good and had told the nice lady on the phone that it was our 10 year wedding anniversary. She went out of her way to make sure there was a cake in our room! Either way I lived it. I got the queen suite and was nice cozy and clean!

Nice room with small living/kitchen area separate from bedroom. Kitchen had a full size fridge and small stove/oven (which we couldn't get to work for some reason) small microwave, coffee maker, toaster. Bed comfort was ok. Overall a good value.
