Keep away
This is a sleezy hotel, or rather motel. The place is dirty, the shower was broken, the handle was broken, you felt the sprints in the beds. This was a total bummer. It was just a disgusting experience. One thing, the breakfast was decent.

Okay for a stopover
Pretty good for one night. We are not animal people so didn’t really like the smell. There is that slight animal smell. Bed was super comfortable. Room was nice and large. Great having a microwave, fridge and tea/coffee making in our room. The hotel is located on the outskirts of town and not really walkable to town.
