“Nice and inexpensive”

Reviewed 12 April 2013

The front desk clerk was extremely ice and helpful with filling us in on wweekende events and where to park when we attended those. The room was clean and in a convenient location. We are actually coming back into town and have another room reserved for this weekend.

Big mistake. If you're a hitchhiker kicked off the freeway and have $65 this is the place for you. The dirtiest, darkest, must disgusting carpeting I've ever seen. I sneezed for 2 days afterward. The absolute worst primitive Medieval "free" breakfast you can imagine. Truly, if you want to spend 8-9 hours in a 3rd world country this is the... More

The outside property is well maintained with good landscaping, palm trees, and fence surrounding the entire property. From the outside it made a good impression. The room was marginally clean but needed... More
