It was easy to check-in and out. Room was clean. Had no problem finding parking. Plus, the parking lot was lit so I felt like my car was safe. Hoping this was only a one-time thing but at 2am a bunch of guests came and spent well over an hour blaring music in their room and out at their cars talking/laughing very loud and drinking beer.

Enjoyed the Stay

Quick one-night stay for a meeting the next day. Convenient location and very hospitable and friendly staff. Fast food (DQ) a block away and an AM-PM Mini Mart across the street. The first thing I noticed was that the room smelled great! Not real fancy but for an "overnighter" the bed was comfortable and the room was clean.

Better than you pay for

Reminder that this is an economy hotel. Ron was clean and well maintained. Two cons to think about. Shower could be a little better and you’ll need to have breakfast somewhere else. Anyways I would definitely come back here.
