"If you are just needing a place to shower and sleep this is a great place. Family ran, very helpful, rooms are old and dated but clean and in good repair. A budget hotel with a budget price and more than adequate room. Parking is a bit tight with a truck but plenty of room if you are driving a normal size car. Would stay again."
