Guest Reviews
- Chuck (9/5): - The staff was great and the location was ideal! It is an older hotel but kept nice and clean.
- Connie (5/5): Good location but felt a bit sketchy for this solo woman traveler. - I am a woman traveling alone. There were rooms occupied by what appeared to be temporary workers around me, but they were quiet enough. My room was clean. It was unsettling to walk past open doorways of workers staying in the rooms; again I am an older woman traveling alone. The people staying in the room next to mine threw out old dog crunchies onto the pavement - just nasty. My dog had to be walked around the mess so he did not eat it (because he would!). I understand that the owners are not responsible for these actions, but it's the kind of people who rent these rooms. I wished I'd known this before renting it. I left a day early and forfeited the rent.
- Cochran (5/5): -
- Gerhard (8/5): Ich fand es gut / Preis Leistung stimmt - Zentral- alles gut zu erreichen
- Marissa (4/5): - As a traveling medical professional the distance from this venue to work was convenient. I didn't particularly like the check in process if having to wait fir staff to arrive to get checked in. Also the lady that works there assuming it may be family is rude. Needs to change the attitude and be more available and make customers feel like they are bothering her. She is working and should be available to help without attitude.
- Sarah (8/5): - We'll get it right in town to where you can walk to basically everything.
- Jacquelyn (2/5): Stench was almost unbearable. - There was a room available. Our room had a horrible stench of septic gases. My husband is a contractor and noted it seemed that the toilet upstairs was pulling water out of the toilet p-trap allowing septic gases to flow into our room. He also noted that it probably would not get repaired as the fix would be costly.
- Lillian (8/5): -
- Jeremy (7/5): - Very comfortable and relaxing Alot of bumping and knocking and foot stomping above me
- Bayona rozo (10/5): -
- Barbara (6/5): -

- William (4/5): Spacious, but dirty - Spacious room Stained and torn linen, and the room was very unclean. Surfaces weren't wiped down, nor were the floors mopped. There was something that appeared to be ketchup like dried on the side of the nightstand and, after showering, walking around the room made the bottom of my feet nearly black with dirt. We booked the room for two nights but didn't stay after the first night.
- DOMINICK (9/5): Friendly staff, clean facility, excellent location for exploring the area. - Helpful staff, clean and comfortable for a night or two. Facility is a bit dated but is adequate for the rate.
- Keith (8/5): - The owner was nice. Property is well won but good condition.
- Randy (10/5): -
- Romero (2/5): De regular a malo - El olor al llegar a la habitación

- John (7/5): - Location and price. Shower was very small!
- C (8/5): - - Needs room instructions on TV/Remote easy use and gain.
(A+) Excellent front desk and excellent comfortable bed.
* pillow cases need to be as soft as the excellent sheets.
** A few less important room details (loss/degrade/missing), needs addressing.
Thanks
- evans (3/5): Could be better - The bed was comfortable Female employee was rude , couldn't use the dresser due to drawer being damaged.room had a few roaches my mother seen, and light on the wall by the bed didn't work

- Jenn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marshall (9/5): Job interview. 2nd time staying there in June. - Price, location, safety. My tub was dirty with hair
Clogging the drain which I had to remove.
- Susan (8/5): - Our room had a wonderful bed, king size, soft and just right firmness. The refrigerator was great to put our drinks in for the next day. Unfortunately, while they have been working on upgrading a few fixtures, the room badly needed a coat of paint. The floor had recently been redone and was good too. We weren't there for amenities or luxury so it did the job. Staff on check in was friendly and efficient. It looked like a great place for bikers on the AT a they had several things in the office for them.
- Randy (8/5): Very good - Very cleam No coffee pot in room..
Bed had plastic under sheet, felt like bed was wet in room number 5...even with the a/c on, it felt as though we were sweating...other than that we like this property...we've stayed here before in room 1 and 7 and beds were awesome..
- Lorna (2/5): Never again - Wifi didnt work the tv was a joke a lot of junk around office very disappointing the lady at desk wasnt very friendly
- Randy (10/5): Awesome - We've stayed here before and it's very clean and comfy. The staff is awesome people as well. We did have ants in the sink when we got up the next morning. Plus no coffee maker.

- Marshall (10/5): - The owners are fantastic!! Smiles and hospitable in every way. Perfect size property and location. Room smells awesome. Water is hot and water pressure is fantastic! A true surprise for its location and last minute booking.
- Kevin (1/5): Bad -
- Richard (6/5): - Older hotel good price
- Sharlene (4/5): - We got only one partially used roll of toilet paper. Towels for the main body were barely beyond the size of a hand towel.
- Kemran (3/5): I do not recommend this hotel - . -
- Michael (4/5): - I’ve stayed her for 25 years. New owner obviously. Bathtub full of dead bugs. Room floor filthy. Full ashtrays everywhere outside. Parking lot not swept and general detritus everywhere. Door did not seal room 11 to outside. Room full of bugs, some still alive. Whatever. I cant go back. The front desk lady was very nice. I did not complain because I was so tired from my day. Office is full of junk and crap. Used to be a real gem. I mean sapphire.

Updates on the horizon but it was clean, quiet and comfortable. I will stay again if I find my way in this neck of the woods again.
- Emily (6/5): - Convenient location, but pretty dilapitated and out dated. Noisy neighbors upstairs stomping around and didn't sleep well. Sheets were pretty ratty but i guess you get what you pay for
- Eva (7/5): Good -
- Fields (7/5): Good value and unusually clean for an older inexpensive property. - As clean as it is possible to get these older properties All was fine for the price I paid, good value.
- Verified traveler (6/5): FLIES! Otherwise good - Room was clean and decently maintained/updated. However there were flies everywhere in the room to the point we did not use any of the towels or shower or anything in the room. If flies were not there I would give it a 4 stars, as everything was good not exceptional.
Also pet fees for conditions of rooms are a bit high if you have a pet, more than the $30 their website says.

- Esperanza (9/5): Superb -
- Robert (4/5): Disappointing - Not too far away from restaurants Knobs broken on ac unit, walls needed to redone. Sheet rock work in the room. Needs thicker pillows in the room. Other than that, not too bad, price could have been in 75 dollar range
- John (6/5): Pleasant -
- Steve (6/5): Pleasant -
