I have stayed here several times and I am very pleased with the cleanliness of the rooms. Hope to stay there again in the near future
We loved this little gem! Sparkling clean, friendly staff, good location.
Across the highway are 3 restaurants: Italian, Mexican and Japanese. We had dinner at the Italian and it was very good. The calzones get 5 🌟.
The hotel serves coffee in the lobby.
There is a nice convenience store across the road that is open 24 hrs.
