If you are looking to stay in a palace.....keep moving, however , if you are looking for a comfortable place to stay that is affordable, with easy access to the highway, with great service from 2 of the friendliest people you could ever meet, then this is the place.Are the rooms a little dated, no doubt, but they are neat, clean, and comfortable and Diane and Ron are constantly working on updating.

We needed a place to stay for a wedding in town. Ron was great and the customer service was amazing. Being able to sit on the walkway out back and watch the river go by was totally relaxing.
