Disliked: Only gave one roll of TP for 4 days, the area while had a lot of...odd people they really didnt go to the hotel or bother you. Breakfast has variety, but honestly if you are in the area there are so many options around you.

Great value, hard-working and invested...

Liked: Great value in that location. Friendly family-based staff. They're working with pride to make the facility and stay comfortable. A hard working woman was cooking the breakfast herself!
Disliked: eh, it was completely fair at this price point. However, it is an aging motel, there's not much getting around that, but they're doing a good job polishing it up.

Solid hotel in good location

Liked: The room was a little old, but clean and had all we need. The breakfast is a standard inexpensive hotel breakfast, but at least it was not carbs-only. They also had scrambled eggs and breakfast sausages. They even had their in-door pool open and working. As I discovered later in other hotels, it is not always the case. The staff was very friendly. The location is just in a couple of blocks away from the old town, very good.
