Small but quality stay. They're planning a major remodel and updating it adding rooms I think this will take away from the uniqueness of this place that's been here for over 50 years

What seems at first to be a run of the mill, potentiallly lower end establishment, turned out to be well worth the value in convenience, cleanliness, with a great staff. Definitely recommend if you are in the area, especially for a shorter stay.
