Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although not luxurious, were clean and sufficient for the price of $75, which I found to be a steal. The breakfast served was great, but the continuous music from the back patio until 9:00 pm could be bothersome at times.
The hotel was right in town, offering intriguing late-night experiences. The rooms, although basic and dated, were clean and sufficient, making for a pleasant stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. However, the dining experience was inconsistent, with varied options and service quality. A great value for the location and service provided.
The hotel is a great value for the $75 price tag offering nice rooms that are worth requesting on a return visit, featuring a microwave which was very useful. However, the location, although beautifully transformed, is a bit off I-81 in the center of town, making it hard to access, especially for larger vehicles like pickup trucks.
