"For a budget hotel this place was very clean. I was surprised. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the staff and ownership for taking care of the rooms so well. It is rare and much appreciated. The bed linens were clean, carpet clean, shower and sink area clean, AC/heater worked fine, shower pressure and hot water was good, carpet was good. It was a great budget hotel. They had security at night that patrolled the parking lot and all was good. thank you"
